The Naga Morich 'snake or serpent chilli' is one of the world's most respected chillies. A recent sample of
fresh fruit of the rare Bangladeshi Naga Morich chilli was tested by Warwick University using HPLC and registered a tongue numbing 1,598,227 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
To compare the Naga with the Bhut a HPLC test would need to
be carried out on a dry sample as for the Worldwide Standard
Sampling Techniques as was used to test the Bhut Jolokia. The figures
for a test carried out under the standard test situations are showing that the comparable heat is around the
800,000 to 900,000 SHU. These original Naga Morich seeds have not been grown by gardeners at home, these are the genuine Naga Morich. Naga Morich is
the closest relative to the Dorset Naga.
Currently Naga Morich seeds are scarce, and Naga seeds
with proven provenance are even scarcer still. Our Naga
Morich seeds come from certificated germination and heat
tested stock. (Capsicum Chinense)
