The Ghost Pepper, native to India, is one of the world’s hottest peppers, reaching up to 1,000,000 Scoville Units, which is 400 times hotter than Tabasco Sauce. The peppers measure about 3 – 6 inches long and about 1 inch wide, and they typically weigh 7 – 9 grams. The plants are large and almost tree-like, with fruits that turn from green to orange or red at maturity. Used in a variety of dishes like dried, pickled, salsas, and chilis, these peppers add a significant amount of heat. Caution is advised when handling any part of this plant due to its intense heat. This natural deterrent makes them excellent companion plants as they are typically avoided by insects and wild animals.
