Yellow Bhut Jolokia Experiment

We hope this yellow bhut jolokia is a mutation and not a cross pollinated variety.  The Chile Pepper Institute explained to us that a mutation is actually better than a cross as it allows the original chilli to remain potent and unchanged in flavour and shape. The chilli will have a pungency level similar to the red Bhut Jolokia. We will not know untill this lot of seeds is harvested and grown. Thanks for becoming part of this exciting experiment, don't forget to send us your yellow Bhut pictures and your names.

A Yellow version of the World’s hottest chilli Bhut Jolokia, Capsicum chinense Jacq has been grown. We hope this Yellow bhut jolokia is a natural variant of Bhut Jolokia the world’s hottest chilli originating in Assam in North East India. The Bhut Jolokia is the hottest chilli with an official Scoville heat rating (SHU) of 1,001,304 SHU twice that of the previous record holder, the Red Savina. Your chance to grow one of the most original of the hottest chillies in the world and that's official! We are proud to stock Yellow Bhut Jolokia. We are going to have it heat tested and we are hoping that the heat level will be in the same region as the hottest chilli in the world, the bhut jolokia, or even be hotter! Photo/David Stehnike
