Pepper 'Bhut Jolokia Yellow'

This yellow pepper is a natural variant of the red heat king, just as (extremely) hot and with a fruity taste, for the connoisseur...
The Bhut Jolokia Pepper, also called the Ghost Pepper, comes from North-East India and is probably one of the hottest peppers ever measured by the Scoville scale. In 2005, a Bhut Jolokia Pepper (measured at the New Mexico State University Chile Pepper Institute) scored 1,001,304 SHU on the Scoville scale! For comparison, a very hot Tabasco sauce measures 2,500-5,000 SHU and one of the hottest other peppers in our assortment, the Tépin, measures 265,000 SHU. In addition to (painfully) consuming this hot Jolokia, many other applications are known in NE-India: spiritual and medicinal. The most amusing application even saves lives: people smear their windows with it as scent bombs to deter visiting wild elephants! One final warning: wear glasses and gloves when cutting and preparing, be careful with consumption, only experienced pepper-eaters can tolerate them, and... keep children away!
