Indian ghost peppers

[koehn,jim]

Does anyone have any experience with them. I am looking to buy some plants or seeds and need to know where to buy them. I am not crazy enough to eat them but my brother is.

Momma started several in her greenhouse this year. She sold every plant at the local farmers market. Good thing....I like hot stuff but I'm not eating any of those.

Man ! Bet that would draw blood !

[runfiverun]

they tend to mellow if you dry them some, then freeze them.
i'll usually buy the asian variety and just eat them from the bag, as we walk through the market.

I bet they are used in the 'Bottled Napalm' that Maj Drake sent me!

That has got to be a eye opener ! Mike in Peru

Is that the same as the Ghost chiles?
If so it's the hottest pepper on the planet right now, even beats the Habanero.

Don't know if it's true, but i've heard somewhere, that people have died from eating too many of them.

That Napalm sticks to ya!

I think the ghost pepper has been surpassed by the "Scorpian".. another Indian pepper. I like hot but this is over the top!

[koehn,jim]

Actually the Scorpion is now the hottest it is from Jamica I just got done ordering some along with the Ghost peppers. Thank you to those who sent in sorces, oneskinnymass sent me a link and I got it thru them.

I have a couple of the Ghosts along with a couple naga morich (bangledeshi serpent chili) and a few of the trinidad scorpion mouruga peppers growing now. It dont take very many to curl your toe nails.

Yes there hot but not as bad as one thinks IF your sensible on how you use them, A co worker gave me a big ziplock bag of dried flakes he made .To me they have alot more flavor and taste than the Habs. If you want to tame them down put the flakes in a shaker and let them be exposed to air .I have 3 kids the oldest 17 and my daughter the youngest at 10 and we all sprinkle them on our pizza ,burgers,heck even put it in the meatloaf. Like anything you get used to it. I like the Ghost peppers/chiles for the flavor not just the heat factor. Now on the other hand if your gonna make a paste out of them Good luck and use small amounts ,be forewarned ! you only need maybe a teaspoon for a pot of chilli .

Are you able to grow the seeds from the previous plant I tried that from the dried ghost peppers i got and they didnt sprout .

Give them to Mikey, he'll eat anything.

I freeze a few each year and then use the seeds that way. If you completely dry them like most do in a dehydrator, the seeds are not viable.

I Grew one had it two years only got around 15 peppers of it the plant gets big 7 foot tall and ten feet wide. They need 80 degrees to set fruit so here in Michigan even in my house the growing season for fruit is short. The ones I tried to grow outside did not grow well they did harden up and were frost resistant but would not set fruit at all because of our cool nights. I have seeds if you PM me I can mail you some.

They were GREAT in BBQ sauce real distinctive flavor along with a kick.

Actually, when they invented the Trinidad Scorpion, it was the hottest for only a year or 2.
Then they invented the Ghost pepper and its been on top since.
I dont like heat enough to eat either.

[wiljen]

you are backward 28 - Scropions, naga morich, and Mourogas are hotter than ghosts.

[skeet1]

You could probably heat you house in the winter with those!

I'm thinking dry them out, grind them up, and load them using Bullseye or Red Dot data.

[firefly1957]

Oh they are not that bad taking the seeds out of a dry one only warmed my thumb for an hour. Next day I wiped a gnat out of my eye and I guess there may have still been some capsasian as my eye burned for a while. Habenero peppers do not make my skin burn but a ghost pepper will even the palms.
