GHOST / JOLOKIA PEPPER SAUCES
The Bhut Jolokia (also known as Ghost Chili, Naga Jolokia, Ghost Pepper, Naga Morich) is a chili pepper that grows in northeastern India (Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur), Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. In 2000, scientists at India's Defence Research Laboratory (DRL) reported a rating of 855,000 units on the Scoville scale, and in 2004 an Indian export company called Frontal Agritech obtained a rating of 1,041,427 units, which would mean it is almost twice as hot as the Red Savina pepper and roughly equal to the similar-looking Dorset Naga, which is derived from the Naga Jolokia. In 2006, it was confirmed by Guinness World Records to be the hottest chili in the world, displacing the Red Savina.
