What is naga morich?

Naga Morich, also known as the Dorset Naga or Ghost Pepper, is a hot chili pepper native to the Assam region of northeastern India. It is known for its intense heat, which can range from 800,000 to over 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This makes it one of the hottest peppers in the world.

The Naga Morich is a hybrid of the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and the Bangladeshi Capsicum frutescens. It is often used in cooking to add heat and flavor to dishes, but should be used sparingly due to its extreme spiciness.

Consuming Naga Morich peppers can cause intense burning sensations in the mouth, throat, and stomach, as well as sweating, tearing, and even difficulty breathing in some cases. It is important to handle these peppers with caution and avoid direct contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes and skin.

Despite its extreme heat, the Naga Morich is popular among chili pepper enthusiasts for its unique flavor and intense spiciness. It is often used in hot sauces, salsas, and spicy dishes to add heat and depth of flavor.
