The Bhut Jolokia pepper from India or more commonly known as “Ghost peppers” in the western world are still pretty rare in the market. Because this type of chili is labeled as the hottest pepper on the planet by Guiness Book of World Records (over a million Scoville Units), there aren’t a lot of stores or market stalls in the US that have ghost peppers for sale. Some people grow their own, though not a lot can have access to proper gardening tools and space. To save you time and effort, here are some tips to get your hands on a fresh pod of the hottest thing to hit the Earth:
- Buy through chili stores on the net – specialty chili stores on the net usually have ground or dried ghost peppers, some even have home-made Jolokia hot sauce bottles for shopping convenience (though there won’t be any existing form of convenience after eating one!). Aside from the chilis being shipped directly to your place, you might even get bonuses and freebies for daring to try to spiciest pepper.
- Scout on eBay or Craigslist – Some ghost pepper growers don’t necessarily intend to start a business selling ghost peppers, that’s why they post their excess harvests up for bids or for sale in various shopping sites such as eBay, craigslist or iOffer. Knowing that these peppers are rare, people will bid high amounts just to have fresh ghost peppers delivered to them.
(Here is a quick link to Ghost Peppers For Sale on ebay) - Visit Indian markets – More often than not, Indian markets have different types of ghost peppers for sale, but these have been watered down to reduce the heat. Aside from Indian markets, you can ask chefs from Indian restaurants if they know a good source of fresh ghost peppers.
Hunting for ghost peppers is like searching for a treasure or debunking an urban myth. These peppers are not easy to find, and the reward from finally obtaining one will not only give an assault to the taste buds, but will also provide a sense of accomplishment—just make sure you have what it takes to eat the devil’s candy!
