Bhut Jolokia Black Strain Powder comes from grinding a dark selection of the Indian Ghost Pepper, with fruits that turn purple-black before ripening to deep red or brown.
source plant, Capsicum chinense, shows foliage and stems with marked anthocyanin pigmentation, a typical trait of "black" superhot selections.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown early, in January-February, in a heated environment, essential to complete this cultivar's long growing cycle.
low-temperature drying keeps the complex aromas intact, then fine grinding produces a dark powder with an intense, slightly smoky scent.
it should be stored in an airtight jar away from heat and direct light, used a pinch at a time given its high heat concentration.
when handling it, gloves and a mask should be worn, as even small airborne amounts can irritate eyes and airways.
Bhut Jolokia Black Strain Powder reaches extreme heat (over 1,000,000 SHU), ideal for dark marinades, smoky sauces and intensely flavoured dishes.
rich in capsaicin and anthocyanins, it offers a high antioxidant profile alongside the classic metabolism and circulation benefits of hot peppers.
