Dorset Naga fresh chillies (100g)

Description

EXTREME HEAT

Dorset Naga is one of the hottest chillies in the world, capable of reaching a million Scoville Heat Units and more. The scorching heat of the fruit is combined with a distinctive fruity aroma, making this a truly exceptional chilli. The wrinkled, wedge-shaped fruit ripen from green to red, the heat level also increases as the fruit ripen.

The fruit can be up to 30 x 50mm in size, but are often smaller; 100g of Dorset Naga is normally about 20 fruit.

Heat level:  It is natural for the heat level of chillies to vary between fruit, between plants and between seasons depending on growing conditions. We have our Dorset Naga fruit heat tested most years, getting a crop average heat by taking one fruit from several plants. Results have ranged between 900,000 and 1.3 million SHU. BBC Gardeners’ World did a chilli trial where they tested a single Dorset Naga fruit that measured 1.6 million SHU.

Please note: we now have ONLY red fruit.
