Ghost Pepper (Chocolate)

The Chocolate Ghost Pepper is believed to be a natural variant of the Red Bhut Jolokia (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 have in your collection. Like most brown peppers, its taste is sweeter than the Red Daddy pepper.
