The Chocolate Bhutlah is a cross between the Bhut Jolokia ( Ghost Pepper )and the Douglah. That lineage creates this fabulous pepper which can actually have pods HOTTER than the Ghost Pepper. Although the Douglah has never officially been tested for Scoville Heat Units, most estimates are in the 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 range and could be the pepper to dethrone the Carolina Reaper
Chocolate Bhutlah pepper plants grow up to 4 ft. tall and are very prolific. Expect to have many 3" pods shaped similarly to the Ghost pepper - pendant-shaped, wrinkly skin, tapers off to a point - but the color of the chile stems from the Chocolate Douglah.
This is an incredible super hot pepper that should not be taken lightly. Always make sure to use caution when handling these peppers, from harvest to the kitchen. For our super hot pepper fanatics, this pepper may be the right one for you - are you ready for the test...?
