The Bhut Neyde Hot Pepper is a rare and fiery chili variety known for its intense heat and unique flavor. Often compared to the famous Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper), the Bhut Neyde offers an extra level of heat, making it a must-have for extreme spice enthusiasts and hot sauce makers. Its distinctive flavor has a smoky, slightly fruity undertone, making it perfect for adding depth to sauces, soups, or even spice blends.
With a heat level of 1,000,000 to 1,200,000 Scoville heat units, the Bhut Neyde ranks among the hottest peppers in the world. Its scorching heat is not for the faint of heart, but for those who love intense heat, it's a thrilling addition to any kitchen.
The peppers themselves are typically 3 to 4 inches long and grow from a green to a bright red or orange color as they ripen. The plant is bushy and compact, reaching around 3 to 4 feet in height, making it suitable for container gardening or smaller spaces.
These plants are prolific producers, yielding large quantities of fiery peppers throughout the growing season. The time from flowering to fruit ripening is about 90 to 100 days, and they thrive in hot, sunny conditions.
