Description: I will just say this was a mass producer and far better in taste than the relative Bhut Jolokia. Here is the AI description.
The Dorset Naga pepper is one of the hottest chili peppers in the world, known for its extreme heat and unique flavor. Here are some key details about it:
-
Heat Level: The Dorset Naga pepper can reach up to 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it significantly hotter than a jalapeño pepper, which typically ranges between 2,500 to 8,000 SHU.
-
Origin: It was developed in Dorset, England, by Joy and Michael Michaud, who cultivated it from seeds of the Naga Morich pepper, originally from Bangladesh.
-
Appearance: The pepper has a distinctive wrinkled appearance and matures from green to a bright red or orange color. It's about 4-5 cm long and has a slightly thicker and juicier wall compared to the Naga Morich.
-
Flavor: Despite its intense heat, the Dorset Naga has a fruity, slightly citrusy flavor that adds complexity to its spiciness.
-
Usage: It's commonly used in spicy dishes, hot sauces, and Bangladeshi cuisine, particularly in curries and pickles. Due to its extreme heat, it's important to handle it with care, using gloves and taking precautions to avoid contact with eyes or skin.
