Dried Bhut Jolokia White Pepper

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

The Bhut Jolokia White Plant

The plant produces fruits with smooth, pale skin, less bumpy than other Bhut Jolokia variants, with a distinctive citrus note in the aroma profile.

How to Sow Bhut Jolokia White

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 White

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 White

The heat level is extreme (over 800,000 SHU): gloves are essential when handling the fruits, carefully avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Diseases and Pests of Bhut Jolokia White

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 White

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