Buy Bhut Jolokia

The Bhut Jolokia (also known as the Bih Jolokia, Nagahari and Ghost Pepper) comes from India and measures more than 1,000,000 on the scoville scale. To get an idea of how hot that is, Tabasco sauce measures 100 scoville.


Seeds


Seeds are easily available via the Internet and are a cheap way to purchase Jolokia; however, you do have to grow the plant and wait for the fruit. As with all chili plants, Jolokia plants like warm and sunny conditions with a constantly damp soil.


Fresh


Fresh Jolokia are available via the Internet, but be aware that they don't stay fresh forever, so this option depends on where they are being sent from. This is also a much more expensive way to purchase Jolokia, with prices roughly five times more than what you would pay for 10 seeds.


Sauces


Bhut Jolokia is available in a range of sauces and pastes. Often, the sauces are hotter than the chili itself, so use with caution. Some of these sauces are stocked by major supermarkets.
