Robert's Ramblings

Since Christmas I have been tending to a little chili plant I have been growing from seed, the Bhut Jolokia, also known as the Naga Ghost Chili and reported to be the hottest chili in the world.

My ghost chili plant is now 40 cm tall and bursting with little white flowers. It seemed only natural to capture one of these delicate transparent white blooms before it became a fiery journey to hell and back.

The Bhut Jolokia has a Scoville heat rating of over 1,000,000 SHU units making it three time hotter than the hottest habarneros. Here is a short video of what I will expect to experience very soon now.

Eating The World's Hottest Chili

I don't think I'll be recording a video of myself - but I will report on the experience.
