Description

Highlighted in the center of the bowl are Bhut Jolokia (or Ghost Peppers).  Their heat index is 1,010,450 SHU (Scoville Heating Units) compared to a common Jalapeno of only 3,000-8,000 SHU.

I dedicate this photograph to VomitBear who induced me to grow them.

Oh nice!
I'm just now getting some of my sweet peppers and a few cayennes.
The Tabascos I think got planted two weeks too late, they're still way off.

I got a few thousand strawberries this year and for some reason the peas exploded. I was giving them away by the pound and I only planted two rows......

Have you used the Bhuts in anything yet?

The problem with the hottest peppers is you're usually the only one eating them.
I dried out and grinded thousands of peppers last year to use as toppings on pizza and mixed into things like burgers etc...I still have a ton because no one wants any.
