Description:

The naga jolokia (English: king cobra chile) – also known asbhot jolokia, dorset naga, or naga morich – is a chili pepper. In2007, it was confirmed by Guinness World Records to be the hottestchili in the world, replacing the Red Savina. It is a naturallyoccurring inter-specific hybrid originating in the Assam region ofnortheastern India. It also grows in the Indian states of Nagalandand Manipur. Disagreement has arisen on whether it is a Capsicumfrutescens or a Capsicum chinense. Some claim it is a C.frutescens, but recent DNA tests have found that it is aninterspecies hybrid, mostly C. chinense with some C. frutescensgenes.
