Ghost Chile, Capsicum chinense, is a crazy-hot chile that measures 500,000-1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). It is also known as bhut jolokia, chile ghost, ghost chiles, chile ghost pepper, or dried ghost pepper. 

Ghost Chiles are small, lantern-shaped chiles with thin skin and deep wrinkles in their orange-red flesh. They are about 2 1/2 – 3 inches long and about an inch across at the shoulder. 

There are approximately 26 whole Ghost Chiles per ounce.

Ghost Chiles are popular with food trucks; chicken restaurants; brewpubs; sauce manufacturers; and independent spice shops.

We also have Ghost Chile Powder available.

Great, as usual. Chilies aren't Great, as usual. Chilies aren't meant to be smoked.

Magnificent Beauties Uniform in size and quality, beautiful consistent color, no unrelated debris in the package. Thrilled that we could get this much this late in the year. We are going to include it into Sweet Lana's Russian Pepper ORANGE spicy savory paste. Outstanding Ghost Chilies!

Powerful! These ghost chilis are pretty spicy and added a very nice kick to a chipotle sauce that I make and sell. Only con would be that they are a bit expensive.
