The purple ghost pepper, also known as Bhut Jolokia, is a extremely hot chili pepper variety. It is a natural variant of the traditional red ghost pepper and is recognized for its vibrant purple color, which matures to red upon ripening. Ranking among the hottest peppers globally, it boasts a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating exceeding 1 million, making it incredibly spicy. Like its red counterpart, the purple ghost pepper is used sparingly in culinary dishes and sauces to add intense heat and flavor.
