Bhut Jolokia White Powder is obtained by grinding the rare ivory-white variant of the Ghost Pepper, which ripens from light green to an almost glowing cream colour.
source plant, Capsicum chinense, produces fruits with the wrinkled surface typical of Bhut Jolokia peppers, with an unusual pale colour for this species.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown early, in January-February, in a heated seedbed, given the long cycle typical of Bhut Jolokia cultivars.
gentle drying preserves the pale colour and fruity aromas, followed by fine grinding that yields an almost ivory-white powder, unusual among superhot chilies.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light, dosed with great care: the pale colour does not reduce the product's actual heat.
when handling it, gloves, safety goggles and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder easily irritates skin, eyes and airways.
Bhut Jolokia White Powder has an extreme heat level (over 900,000 SHU) and is perfect for pale dishes, cream or cheese-based sauces where a dark colour is not wanted.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, with stimulating effects on metabolism and circulation, plus a good intake of vitamin C and antioxidants.
