Naga Morich Pepper Seeds
Meet the ferocious cousin of the Ghost Pepper, the legendary Naga Morich. Translating to "Serpent Chili" from its native Bangladesh, this pepper more than lives up to its menacing name. It's a foundational superhot, revered by chiliheads for its intense heat and a uniquely complex, smoky flavor profile that sets it apart from its famous relatives.
While the Ghost Pepper is known for its "creeper" heat, the Naga Morich offers a more immediate and aggressive burn, a full-frontal assault of pure fire that is both respected and feared. But it's not just about the heat; beneath the punishing flames lies a distinctively smoky and slightly earthy flavor that makes it a prized ingredient in authentic South Asian cuisine. If you've conquered the Ghost and you're looking for the next challenge, the Serpent Chili awaits.
