What is Naga Chili? Popularly known as “Bhut Jolokia” or “Ghost Pepper”, it is a chili from capsicum family that grows in Northeast India.
Once world's spiciest chilli: Bhut Jolokia is so hot that it has held the “Guinness World Record” of being the spiciest chili in the world from 2007-10. It is 450 times hotter than fiery Tabasco sauce. This is enough to have an idea about its hotness! It is proudly famous for having more than a million SHU which is a unit to measure the heat index of peppers.
Good for digestive system: The presence of a compound called “Capsaicin” in Bhut Jolokia and other peppers contains trace amounts of antioxidants, acts as anti-irritant for the stomach and helps improve metabolism.
Helps prevent cold and flu: Hot peppers are rich in beta carotene and antioxidants which supports immune system and aids in fighting off cold and flu.
