What Is This Vegetable?

Dec 16, 2014 By Deepa Gopal

This is a very special kind of plant. Can you guess what it is? Be as specific and detailed as possible, if you want a shot at making the top 3!

Wow, there were a lot of enthusiastic responses. The correct answer is the Bhut Jolokia. The first 3 to guess it correctly were: Tryn28, El-Miracle Akpan and FuzzUzzle.

According to Wikipedia:

The bhut jolokia (also known as bih jolokia, u-morok, ghost pepper, ghost chili pepper, red naga chilli, and ghost chilli is an interspecific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in Bangladesh and Indian states of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. It is an interspecies hybrid of C. chinense and C. frutescens genes.

In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 900.5 times hotter than Tabasco sauce; the ghost chilli is rated at more than 1 million Scoville heat units (SHUs). Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 SHUs. However, as of 2012, it was superseded by the Trinidad moruga scorpion.

On December 26, 2013, the Guinness World Records rated the "Carolina Reaper" the world's hottest pepper, moving the ghost chili to third place.
