Description
Naga Viper Chilli is one of Britain's most famous superhot chillies, developed by Gerald Fowler of The Chilli Pepper Company in Cumbria, England. Created from a reported cross of three legendary chillies — Naga Morich, Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and Trinidad Scorpion — it briefly held the Guinness World Record for the world's hottest chilli in 2011.
With a recorded heat of 1,382,118 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), Naga Viper is firmly in superhot territory. Its flavour carries the distinctive fruity and floral characteristics of the Naga family, with subtle earthy undertones. The heat builds gradually before developing into an exceptionally powerful, lingering burn.
The red, heavily wrinkled pods can be used in extremely small quantities to bring intense heat and flavour to curries, chilli sauces, marinades and slow-cooked dishes. Whole dried chillies can be rehydrated or crushed during cooking to release their flavour and fiery chilli oils.
