A relative of the Ghost pepper, the Chocolate Naga Morich pepper is extremely spicy as it averages between 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The Chocolate Naga Morich, which was developed by Steve Bender at Innovation Acre, is a cross between a Chocolate Ghost pepper and a Naga Morich. The peppers are thin skinned, pointy, and have a very high heat level that kicks in almost immediately after consumption. The extreme heat builds up for several minutes and eventually creates a powerful endorphin rush.
One of the hottest peppers in the world, the Naga Morich's heat level is similar to other superhot peppers such as the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, and the Carolina Reaper.Naga Morich translates to 'snake or serpent chile,’ an appropriate name for this superhot pepper variety.
The Naga Morich pepper is related to several other well known superhot peppers like the Naga Viper, Dorset Naga, Chocolate Bhutlah, Ghost pepper, and Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion.
