Description:
The Chocolate Ghost Pepper is believed to be a variant of the Red Ghost Pepper that stemmed from crossing with a 7 Pot Douglah. That lineage creates this fabulous pepper which can actually have pods HOTTER than the Ghost Pepper, with a taste all of its own. Although the Chocolate Ghost chili has never officially been tested for Scoville Heat Units, most estimates are in the 800,000 to 1,001,304 range. This is a fun Chile to grow and add to your collection.
The Chocolate Ghost pepper plant will grow to about 4 feet tall, producing 3" long pods that ripen from green to their dark brown color at maturity. Wrinkly and pointy, this is a gnarly pepper not to be messed with! The Chocolate Bhut Jolokia is one of the most unique Super Hot Peppers to grow in your garden with its colors and flavors. Wrinkly and pointy, this is a gnarly pepper not to be messed with!
Their flavors are uniquely unforgettable as their rich dark color seems to add sweeter undertones with the smoky flavor you always get from a Ghost. Use this for BBQ sauces, hot sauces, powder, and marinades.
