Dried Bhut Jolokia Peach Pepper

Dried Bhut Jolokia Peach Pepper is the dried version of the peach variant of the famous Ghost Pepper, belonging to the species Capsicum chinense and originating from Assam, in Northeast India.

The Bhut Jolokia Peach Plant

The plant produces pendant fruits, longer than the other variants, which start out green and gradually turn a delicate pink-peach color, sometimes leaning towards orange if left to ripen longer.

How to Sow Bhut Jolokia Peach

Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C until germination, which may take 3-4 weeks given the high heat of this genotype.

How to Grow Bhut Jolokia Peach

Transplant from May, once night temperatures stay stably above 15°C. It prefers full sun, fertile well-drained soil, regular watering without waterlogging and periodic potassium-rich fertilization during fruiting.

Heat Level and Care Tips for Bhut Jolokia Peach

The heat level is extreme (over 850,000-1,000,000 SHU): gloves are essential when handling the fruits, carefully avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Diseases and Pests of Bhut Jolokia Peach

It can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly, especially under protected cultivation with poor ventilation; good air circulation reduces the risk of powdery mildew.

Properties and Uses of Bhut Jolokia Peach

The very high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Bhut Jolokia Peach pepper, prized for its delicate fruity note alongside the extreme heat, is used ground into powder or flakes for very spicy sauces.
