Description: The Chocolate Bhutlah is a chili pepper that packs an intense punch. While its exact Scoville heat unit (SHU) range isn’t officially established, it’s estimated to be around 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 SHU – making it one of the hottest peppers in the world. To put this into perspective, it’s approximately 187 to 800 times hotter than a jalapeño! 🔥

Here are the key details about this spicy delight:

1. Origin and Genetics:

   • The Chocolate Bhutlah is a hybrid pepper resulting from the cross between a Bhut Jolokia (also known as the ghost pepper) and a 7 Pot Douglah (also called chocolate Douglah). Its clever name, “Bhut-lah,” reflects this lineage.

   • Although its heritage might be a tad murky, one thing is certain: it’s one wicked hot pepper!

2. Appearance:

   • These peppers are larger than most 7 Pot varieties, with an elongated shape and wrinkled skin.

   • They start off green and mature into a rich chocolate brown colour, which is when they reach their full flavour and extreme heat potential.

3. Flavour Profile:

   • The Chocolate Bhutlah offers a unique combination of flavours:

     • Sweetness: Almost floral, akin to other super-hot peppers.

     • Earthy: A subtle earthiness typical of chocolate pepper varieties (similar to the chocolate habanero).

4. Heat Experience:

   • Brace yourself for a quick, intense burn! The heat hits fast, making it seem even hotter.

   • On the Scoville scale, it stands alongside other fiery contenders like the Trinidad Scorpion, Komodo Dragon, and Carolina Reaper.

   • While it doesn’t quite match the potential heat of newcomers like the Dragon’s Breath or Pepper X, it’s still a top-tier scorcher.

Culinary Uses:

• Handle with Care: Due to its intense heat, use the Bhutlah sparingly. A little goes a long way!
• Spicy Sauces: Add it to hot sauces, salsas, and marinades for a fiery kick.
• Daring Dishes: Incorporate it into chilli, stews, and curries to elevate the heat level.
• Adventurous Snacking: If you’re a heat seeker, try it dried or powdered for a potent punch.
