About the White Ghost Pepper

The White Ghost is a Capsicum chinense variety prized for its distinctive appearance and powerful heat. Plants typically grow 3–4 feet tall and produce 2-inch long, pendant-shaped pods with wrinkled skin that ripen from light green to a creamy white color.

While the heat is intense, the flavor profile offers more complexity than a standard Ghost Pepper, with sweet undertones balanced by slight bitterness and smokiness, making it a popular choice for specialty sauces and powders.

• Heat Level: Extremely hot (typically exceeding 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units)

• Flavor: Sweet, smoky, and slightly bitter with intense heat

• Pepper Appearance: Creamy white, wrinkled, pendant-shaped pods

• Culinary Use: Hot sauces, powders, dehydrated flakes, and ultra-spicy recipes

Growing & Care Information

• Grower Experience Level: Expert
