The ghost pepper is most people's go-to chilli when they think of the superlatively hot.
Plenty of YouTube videos, TV shows and books have referenced its extreme heat and for good reason - it was the hottest chilli from 2007 to 2011 and was one of, if not the first chilli to break the one million Scoville heat units (SHU) mark.
Like most super-hots, the ghost is a hybrid of other species, in this case, a hybrid of C. chinense and C. frutescens grown in India.
To give you an idea of how hot this chilli is, the first group to report an actual number for its heat was the Indian Defence Research Laboratory while looking into less-lethal hand grenades.
Where to get it: Australian chilli suppliers will almost always have Bhut seeds available. Try The Chilli Factory or Chilli Seed Bank online or check your local grower.
