Whole Dehydrated Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) – 10kg Export Pack
Whole Dehydrated Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) – 10kg Export Pack
Source authentic, laboratory-verified Assam Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper / Capsicum chinense) directly from the fertile riverine soils of Assam in Northeast India. Cultivated in its protected GI terroir and processed under hygienic closed-loop solar drying systems, our whole pods test consistently at over 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Designed for high-heat food manufacturing, craft hot sauce production, oleoresin extraction, and industrial spice blending.
Unlike commercial chillies dried over open wood-smoke hearths that yield high PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) contamination and charred skins, our chillies utilize sun and solar-tunnel dehydration. This method preserves their vibrant crimson-orange coloration, retains subtle fruity-floral volatile notes, maintains stem (calyx) attachment to prevent internal oxidation, and produces an export-compliant product that meets strict international food safety regulations.
