The ghost chili (aka Bhut Jolokia, Naga Jolokia, Naga Morich) is so named for its "ghostly" bite. It has officially been recognized as the world's hottest chile pepper, but also possesses a slight surprising sweetness and smokiness behind all that heat. The perfect gift for the hardcore chilehead in your life, this pepper is only reserved for those who wish to add true fire to their hot sauce. They are very similar looking to Habanero peppers, but they have a rugged skin.
