The white bhut jolokia, or White Ghost pepper, is a creamy white, natural variant of the ghost pepper known for its intense heat (over 1 million Scoville units) and fruity, citrusy, and sometimes slightly bitter flavor. The pods are 1.5-2 inches long, with a classic pendant, bumpy, or smooth shape, that starts light green and ripens to a creamy white. White Bhut Jolokias are used in sauces and salsas but can be more challenging to grow.
