Product description

CAUTION  WORLD'S NO #3 HOTTEST PEPPER The Ghost Pepper, also known as bhut jolokia, is the number-3 hottest peppers in the world. This hybrid pepper from India's northeast can be up to five times hotter than a habanero. Its capsaicin content is so high that farmers sometimes use them 'to keep wild elephants away'. Ghost Peppers add a fiery blast to chilli or salsa. As with any hot pepper, be sure to handle them with great caution. We harvest the Ghost Chillies at their peak ripeness, dry them to lock in flavour, and carefully grind them into a powder for your use.

Culinary Notes:

Clocking over 1 million on the heat scoville scale, the Ghost Chilli Pepper has a big chilli flavour with a mega heat hit! Due to their intense heat, only a small amount of powder is needed at a time to give a big flavour and fieriness to a dish.

Health benefits:

All chillies contain capsaicin which is known to have many health benefits including boosting the immune system, eliminating inflammation and helping with weight loss. Some people are concerned that because these chillies are so hot, it could actually kill them. This is false. Although eating an extremely hot chilli causes your pain receptors to react as if you are experiencing pain, it's only an illusion. They won't do any damage unless you have an allergy or an ulcer. You should not have a problem eating these chillies unless you know that spicy foods and hot peppers negatively affect your health. If you don't normally eat spicy foods, it's probably not a great idea to go straight for a Carolina Reaper, Trinidad scorpion or ghost chilli. Instead, ease yourself into eating the ghost peppers by trying more mild peppers like the jalapeno first. But if you're experimenting and discover you can't take the heat, a glass of milk should help you recover.

Origin:

The ghost pepper, also known as bhut jolokia, is the number-3 hottest peppers in the world measuring a whopping 1,041,427 SHU! In the world of peppers, this hotness is measured based on the Scoville scale. The more Scoville heat units (SHU) that pepper has, the spicier it is. For example, the bell pepper has zero SHU, while jalapeño and chipotle peppers measure 10,000 SHU each. We harvest the Ghost Chillies at their peak ripeness, dry them to lock in flavour, and carefully grind them into a powder for your use.

    Pepper Sichuan Ground

    Product description

    Sichuan Pepper is an oriental fruit grown on a small ash tree native to the Sichuan province of China. Even though it is called pepper, it is not a true pepper and is not related to black peppercorns, which are from India. The berries have a warm peppery fragrance, with citrus notes & a clean fresh aftertaste leaving a slightly numbing sensation on the tongue. It is the outer husk that has all the flavour, the internal hard black seed is edible but can add a bitter taste. It is a key ingredient in Chinese cuisine and used in some Asian recipes. It is used in our chilli sichuan salt and calamari salt and pepper blends.
