Especially hot in flavor.
Description
Related to Habaneros, Ghost Pepper is known as the hottest pepper in the world. It contains capsaicin, a chemical compound that gives it hot and irritant characteristics, making it useful for natural pesticide sprays. Ghost Pepper prefers loose, sandy or loamy soils so that its roots can receive extra oxygen. It favors hot weather, above 20°C, and long growing seasons. Plants are self-fertile, grow between 0.75-1.25 m high, and produce 2-5 cm long peppers. Ghost Pepper is usually transplanted at 8-10 weeks old. Use gloves and goggles to avoid skin or eye irritation when harvesting and cutting peppers.
