Slow and sneaking attack 

Naga Bhut Jolokia, or also Ghost Chilli, is a pepper that was at one time the hottest pepper in the world. Although she has already been dethroned by the Carolina Reaper, Jolokia is still a much-feared pepper for many a daredevil. 

The word "Naga" means "cobra", the word "bhut" means "ghost". That's exactly what her character implies. The onset of heat is very slow indeed. But from the moment it captures you, it doesn't let go! 

It has an intense, sweet, and fruity taste. You can enjoy it in peace because the heat doesn't come on right away. The pepper takes its time and attacks you after about half a minute. And then it starts. Prepare yourself for sweating, hiccups, tearing, and shortness of breath. 

Naga Bhut Jolokia is a medicine  

This pepper is native to Bangladesh. The people there use it not only for cooking but also as a remedy for stomach aches or fevers. And how? The pepper makes you sweat, which in the end actually leads to a lower-body temperature! But Naga Bhut Jolokia doesn't just cure. In fact, it is also used to make very effective pepper sprays.
