Description
The Bhut Jolokia Yellow is the golden variant of the famous Ghost Pepper from northeastern India. Its conical, wrinkled pods ripen to vivid yellow rather than the classic red, with the same superhot intensity exceeding 1 million SHU. The flavor is slightly more citrusy and fruity than the red variety, making it prized in extreme hot sauces and specialty chili collections.
