Originating from Nagaland, India, this is the slightly cooler cousin of the Bhut Jolokia; the reality is that at these sort of heat levels it would be virtually impossible for a human to detect the difference! Commonly known as the Snake Chilli or Serpent Chilli it really does have a bite! It needs handling with care at all times as even the seeds can cause burns when sowing! The immature green pods are fiery hot - but once they mature to red they are literally blistering and even the tiniest amount of cut flesh touched on to human skin can cause agony. This variety has long been coveted by the Bangladeshi community in this Country - and is one of the varieties our friends from our local Indian restaurant always make a beeline for when they come to harvest a few fruits for their home use. This is also the parent of the Dorset Naga - though as it would appear that the Dorset Naga is simply a reselection (ie a result of collecting seeds from the best fruits year on year) as opposed to being a new hybrid variety we do question whether it should have a different name at all. The pale green fruits have a crinkled appearance and mature to a rich red, measuring 2" - 3" (5 - 8 cm) in length and 1" - 1" (2.5 - 4 cm) in diameter (at the shoulder) tapering to a point. The plant has a fairly dense habit growing to approximately 2 - 3 feet (60 - 90 cm) and a similar spread.
Cautions / DisclaimerBased on the fact Naga Morich regularly scores at around 1,000,000 SHU's (Scoville Heat Units) we once again caution those who purchase seed of this that it must treated with respect at all times and under no circumstances must the fruits be used in practical jokes etc. We accept no liability, consequential or otherwise, whatsoever to those who chose to grow, handle or eat this variety - or similarly to any third party who is injured as a result of contact in any way, shape or form. Your purchase of this seed implies you have read and accepted this condition of sale. Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
