Ikai Organic Natural Bhut Jolokia | King Chilli | Ghost Pepper | 25g

Renowned as the hottest naturally occurring chilli in the world, Bhut Jolokia—also known as Ghost Pepper or Naga King Chilli—is a fiery treasure native to Nagaland and Assam in Northeast India. Deeply rooted in indigenous culture, this chilli symbolizes strength, courage, and passion. Historically, the Kuki tribes of Manipur even used Bhut Jolokia as a symbol of war, tying it to burning logs to declare battle.

What makes this chilli truly exceptional is its unique terroir. While Bhut Jolokia is now cultivated globally, it loses much of its legendary pungency outside the specific climatic conditions of Northeast India. Our Natural Bhut Jolokia is sourced directly from its native region, ensuring authentic heat and flavour.

With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) exceeding 1,00,000 and nearly five times hotter than Habanero, this chilli delivers a slow-burning heat that builds after 30–45 seconds—enough to bring tears, sweat, and exhilaration. Beyond heat, it is traditionally used to relieve aches, colds, and digestive issues.

A dream for true chilli lovers, Bhut Jolokia must be handled with respect—used sparingly, but savoured deeply.
