Basics On Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce

By Jerri Perry


Bhut Jolokia, also commonly known as ghost pepper, is the name of an interspecific hybrid that is cultivated in India. More specifically, this is found in the states of Nagaland and Assam. There are many different purposes for this, including cooking. Ghost pepper hot sauce is sold through many manufacturers and is recognized as the hottest of these sauces.

In 2007, Guinness World Records gave this the title of hottest chili pepper. Then, in 2012, the title was given to the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. Just a year later, in 2013, Carolina Reaper was reported as the hottest in the world. Despite its loss of this title, the Bhut Jolokia is still considered four times as hot as Tabasco sauce.

This condiment, and the pepper itself, is used in many dishes to add some heat. It is commonly added to churneys, curries and pickles. It may also be included to give its distinct flavor to a recipe. Most people combine it with dried or fermented fish, or pork. People who do not enjoy foods that are spicy or have a lot of flavor may not enjoy this. The condiment might not be best for little children or babies.

There are different kinds of hot sauces with this pepper. Some may feature just Bhut Jolokia, while others might incorporate other kinds. This condiment may be made with pepper as the base and other ingredients, such as salt and vinegar added for taste. Other versions may use vegetables and fruits for the base, adding the chili peppers in for the heat.

Variation also exists in the manufacturing process. There are several different techniques that can be used and may notably impact the final result, including: aging in a container, cooking and pureeing ingredients to get the correct flavor. Their heat ratings based on Scoville scale make ghost and habanero peppers a prime ingredient in the hottest of sauces. Still, additional ingredients may be included to add extra heat, such as: mustard oil, pure capsaicin extract, vinegar, spices. The ingredients will differ by product.

The cost of the sauces will be based on several factors, including seller and manufacturer. In general, these are available at many grocery stores around the store. Still, some brands might only be available at certain stores. Most hot sauces can be found through online retailers. People purchasing these are encouraged to read reviews and any other information provided by the manufacturer.

Eating this will give people different reactions on a physical level. People who are tolerant to this may not have as many problems but others who are not may struggle. Usually this sauce is added in small amounts in foods so that it does not make the food item inedible because of the heat level. Sweating and coughing are common reactions of people who consume this.

Ghost pepper hot sauce is among the hottest condiments that exists. This is available through many different manufacturers. People who use this sauce in food recipes are encouraged to add a small amount and keep it away from sensitive people, such as children.
