Item Tag: Ghost Pepper

Arguable the most unique Ghost pepper variety because of its color, the Gold Ghost pepper is a new member of the Ghost pepper family. The pods start off green and ripen to a stunning gold color. It has a fruity flavor and a very spicy heat level which is typical for superhot peppers. The Gold Ghost pepper, which is wrinkly and pointy, has a very fruity flavor that kicks in almost immediately after consumption. The extreme heat builds up for several minutes and eventually creates a powerful endorphin rush. From 2007 to 2012, Guinness World Records certified that the original Ghost pepper was the world’s hottest pepper. Eventually the Ghost pepper was overtaken by the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the world’s hottest pepper. In 2013, both of those peppers were taken over by the Carolina Reaper. At Tyler Farms, we grow our plants the old fashioned way: no pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, and we only use all natural fertilizers such as worm castings and fish emulsion.

A relative of the Ghost pepper, the Naga Morich pepper is extremely spicy as it averages between 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Naga Morich translates to ‘snake or serpent chile,’ an appropriate name for this superhot pepper variety. The Naga Morich, which is thin skinned and pointy, has a very fruity flavor that kicks in almost immediately after consumption. The extreme heat builds up for several minutes and eventually creates a powerful endorphin rush. One of the hottest peppers in the world, the Naga Morich’s heat level is similar to other superhot peppers such as the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, and the Carolina Reaper. The Naga Morich pepper is related to the Naga Viper, Dorset Naga, Chocolate Bhutlah, Ghost pepper, and Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion.
