The bhut jolokia, or "Ghost Pepper", has previously held the title of the world's hottest pepper, and it can be difficult to grow them successfully. If you have met with success, check out my tips on SAFELY harvesting them, when to harvest them, and how to prepare them for eating.
DISCLAIMER: the Ghost Pepper is not a pepper for the average person, and can actually be fatal if consumed in large quantities. Please observe all safety measures, and start out eating the ghost pepper in smaller amounts.
Enjoy, and as always please Share on social media and subscribe to my KZbin channel if you have not already. Thanks!

I live in Central Florida and this is my first year growing these peppers, I'm a few days away from my first peppers I've been watching them like a hawk! I noticed the same thing in the forst few months I couldn't keep a flower on and thought it was a giant failure. But time has proven otherwise. Very informative thank you! Hope to see more like this!

I'm looking forward to eating my own home grown ones, but in my part of the country these are sold fresh in major grocery stores. I recently tried them by cooking them with black beans, chopped tomatoes, cilantro and green onions. They were very hot, but I was expecting more. Maybe the ones they sell here aren't as hot. BTW, I recommend sour cream in place of milk if you don't like drinking milk. I did an experiment and the the sour cream really knocked down the effects.

I kept my ghost pepper plants alive throughout the winter by bringing them indoors and under a UV light. From December to March I battled constant aphids with neem oil, it was a weekly or bi-weekly battle for my plants. Now it's May and warm enough to keep my plants outside. I have some nicely-sized peppers coming back again, I'd say at least 2.5 to 3 inches long at this point, still green though. As enjoyable as it was last year growing the peppers, this year is magnitudes better having kept them alive over the winter. Can't wait to harvest some bright red beauties. I normally use my ghost peppers in a jerk chicken marinade, makes the wings fiery!

I have a Bhut Jolokia and a Trinidad Scorpion for my pepper plants. They don't make me nauseous and they don't actually burn my skin. The danger is that you might touch your genitals or your eyes afterward and the oils will cause an intense burning sensation. The oils aren't water soluble and are very hard to wash off, so gloves are a good idea. I haven't found that cooking with them irritates my eyes or respiratory system. The burn doesn't actually damage tissue, though it may aggravate an ulcer. I can't say I generally eat more than one or two rice grain sized pieces at a time raw and maybe six pieces in a cooked dish because that much is hot enough for me and honestly, if you use more, it's hard to tell the difference. The Scorpion is rated at less Scoville units than the ghost pepper, but they both feel about as hot on the tongue. The heat from the ghost pepper does seem to last longer, though. They don't actually hurt me, but they really, really burn. If that isn't your cup of tea, you won't like them. I have seen people projectile vomit from lesser peppers, so I won't predict how they work out for you. Proceed with caution.

Actually the scorpion had a higher SHU. But they are close and vary accordingly. The biggest difference is the way they heat. Scorpion peppers will hit you right away and ghost peppers can take a little bit. I love both of them but I have to admit that the ghost peppers will give me a bellyache. It’s not bad and I don’t press my luck but of all the spicy chili and peppers I eat, it is the only one to do that. The only pepper that causes me issues (to date) is the jalapeño! It makes no difference how mild or sparingly I eat them, I will get hiccups. I even tried Notapeños. They have no heat at all but come from the jalapeño with all the flavor. Made no difference. Hiccups. Obviously it’s a reaction that I have to accept if I want to eat jalapeños.

@@abc-coleaks-info3180 I've gotten stomach irritation from bell peppers I've bought from the store, but never from ones I've grown myself. I suspect pesticides, which are often used heavily on commercial peppers. I've grown jalapenos and they didn't bother my stomach, but I've gotten batches from the store that did. For me it doesn't seem to be the capsaicin. Ghost, Scorpion and my Ghost Scorpion hybrid are all much hotter than jalapenos but don't bother my stomach. Sure do burn in the mouth, though.

I was having the same issue as you here in Tokyo with the flowers dropping off and the fruit not setting. It’s my first time growing any peppers at all. The jalapeños are coming along just fine, but the Bhut Jolokia (ghost peppers), Carolina Reapers, and Trinidad Scorpions would just throw out lots of flowers which would eventually drop off (stem and all). However… the temperatures around here had been in the 90s basically day and night up until a week ago, and I had read that as much as peppers like warm weather, they won’t set fruit in those high temperatures. Now that the temps have dropped into the high 70s (into the 60s at night), I’m finally starting to see some fruit appear. I have a feeling I’m going to be inundated with all these peppers very soon.

@@letter1967 antinutrients are contained within those peppers, it's part of the reason for the warning. I had an elderly friend I once knew that swore by the cayenne pepper cocktail (it's made with hot peppers and carrot juice = tastes great) and he eventually died from something I believe was related to that near daily consumption. Humans brains function on whole food sugar, the only food in the world that fits that bill is fruit (fructose = life : that white processed trash that passes for it in many people diets = death). Very interesting when you know that...kind flips the claims for carnism right on its head...remember achie bunker? Meat-head>??? More truth to the term than most had any clue of, hah! Something that has lots of antinutrients (as well as nutrients) in them are mushrooms, especially the ones people take to get high that cause gut rot (you would think some of those BIZ owners who sell this trash like paul stametz would clue in at least a tiny bit with all that so-called education they keep stating they have).

The hottest pepper I grew and ate raw was cayenne. This year I bought a ghost pepper plant at a local nursery, and it grew and produced a whole bunch of deep dark red peppers which are thinner than yours. Maybe it is overgrown because I wasn’t paying much attention to it, just regular watering. Or maybe it was the climate difference, because I am in upstate NY, although this Summer here it feels like Florida. I used to live in FL for almost 20 years, so I can compare objectively. Anyway, glad I decided to look it up online and watched your video before harvesting it. I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought it, now I am scared to even harvest and cut it up. I may try one and suspect the rest will just sit on the plant till frost as decorative plant. I am comfortable withe cayenne level of heat for now.

I’ve found the peppers don’t pack as much heat as it should because I was watering the plants too much, apparently you have to “stress “ the plant when it is fruiting to get it to its full heat potential.

What is the flavor profile for a ghost pepper? Does it have the odd musky taste of a habanero or is it more like a Thai chile or jalapeño?
@ExpertOfThings
@ExpertOfThings Жыл бұрын
I'd definitely loop it more onto the habanero side, versus the sweeter, milder peppers, but it definitely has a unique taste!
