The dry ghost pepper, also known as Bhut Jolokia, is one of the hottest chili peppers in the world. Native to India, it gained international fame for its intense heat level, which is measured on the Scoville scale.
Its flavor profile includes a fruity and slightly sweet undertone, but the primary characteristic is its extreme spiciness. Due to its intense heat, the ghost pepper is often used sparingly in culinary dishes, hot sauces, and as a challenge for those seeking extreme spice experiences.
