I got them on ebay. It is actually called Naga Morich , but they think it is a variant of Bhut Jolokia . Here's what they say: According to thechileman.org: "The Naga Morich 'snake or serpent chilli' is one of the world's most sought after and fearsome chilli peppers. A recent sample of this rare Bangladeshi chilli was tested using High-performance liquid chromatography and registered a mind blowing 1,598,227 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), that's 3 times hotter than the previous World Record Holder - the Red Savina Habanero or 300 times hotter than a Jalapeno pepper! In its native Bangladesh, it is used sparingly (and with great care) to add a searing level of heat to dishes by simply rubbing green unripe pods on ingredients. Even the fiery food loving Bangladeshi's are not stupid enough to eat a whole Naga pod." The Naga Morich is very closely related to the Bhut Jolokia. Some experts think that they may be the same variety with difference names from different locales. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sterling Kaiser" <jskaiser.fpm.cfot@gmail.com> To: "Tom Greaves" <tomg@airmail.net> Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [CH] Fw: How would you taste 20 different hot powders? > Hey, just curious, where can I find that 1.5 million shu jolokia you are > talking about.
