The listing, 15 Organic Non-GMO Red Ghost pepper seeds has ended.
Ghost chiles disguise their heat inconspicuously in a small pod. The chile pod is grooved, slightly curved and comes to a point. The chiles size ranges in length of 2-3 inches and about 1/2 inch wide. The skin is smooth, waxy, glossy and firm. Its flesh bears less than edible seeds (one seed can contain levels of heat that can produce sustained intense pain sensations in the mouth for up to 30 minutes). The pod's membrane also contains high levels of heat, which extinguishes the assumption that removing the seeds removes the heat. Cooking Ghost chiles will not reduce the pepper's vicious bite. Red Ghost chile peppers are a hybrid of Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens. In 2007 they ranked for some time as the hottest chile in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Their Scoville rating at more than 1 million is 900 times hotter than the famous Tabasco brand hot sauce.
