Description

Naga Morich is one of the original superhots, a chili from Bangladesh and North-East India where it is known locally as the king of chillies. It is a close relative of the Bhut Jolokia, a little smaller and with a rougher, more pimpled and ribbed skin, and it is one of the varieties that later went into breeding the Carolina Reaper.

The pods ripen to a bright red, wrinkled and pointed. The heat is extreme, but what really sets Naga Morich apart is the aroma: full, fruity and mouth-watering. That is why it is a true favourite among chili lovers.

It is a prolific and easy grower that rewards warmth and sunshine with an abundance of pods. Use it carefully in hot sauces, curries and stir-fries, or dry it for a powder with real character. Open pollinated.

Challenge: 1 (easy to grow).
