The Ghost Pepper has two primary uses in Northern India.
Naturally, it’s used as a spice for cooking – but you may find its lesser-known use far more fascinating.
While most of the world doesn’t need to protect itself from wild elephants – the folks in Northern India aren’t quite as fortunate!
To defend themselves from these massive creatures that stand nearly 10 feet tall and weigh as much as 8 tonnes, locals routinely smear ghost pepper ‘sauce’ on their fences – to keep them at bay.
And, while the Ghost Pepper is the most famous of the painfully hot peppers, it’s no longer considered the hottest pepper in the world – that honour goes to the Carolina Reaper!
While the ghost pepper is rated at 1,041,427 Scoville Heat Units, the ‘new kid in town’ is graded at twice that amount!
