Ghost pepper has earned a reputation for formidable heat. In 2007, the Guinness World Records recognized Bhut Jolokia as the world's hottest chile pepper at that time. This sea salt brings ghost pepper character into a format that can be incorporated into established spicy recipes.

No current Scoville rating was supplied for this finished seasoning, so the listing does not assign a specific SHU measurement.

This seasoning is specifically described as hot and should be used sparingly. Start with a very small amount, especially when preparing a recipe for the first time, and adjust only when additional heat and salt are desired.

Remember that this product contributes both heat and salinity. Consider the other salty ingredients in your recipe before adding more seasoning.

For BBQ cooks who deliberately build extremely spicy menu items, Ghost Pepper Sea Salt can be incorporated into established BBQ recipes that call for both salt and intense chile heat. It can also become part of a custom spicy seasoning blend when used according to a tested formula.

Because of its intense heat, careful portioning is especially important when seasoning larger batches.

The supplied product information specifically references Roasted Tomato Salsa with Ghost Pepper as a recipe application. Ghost Pepper Sea Salt provides a convenient way to introduce both salt and concentrated chile heat to an established salsa recipe.

The 1 lb and 2 lb resealable bags provide larger options for food trucks, BBQ restaurants and small BBQ vendors offering intentionally spicy menu items. These formats can support repeat preparation of hot BBQ recipes, spicy salsas and other established dishes that call for ghost pepper salt.

For commercial service, standardize the amount used per batch or portion. Consistent measurement is particularly important with an extremely hot seasoning.

Restaurants, caterers, concession vendors and commercial kitchens sourcing bulk foodservice spices can choose the 1 lb or 2 lb resealable bag for higher-volume use. This is a specialty seasoning for operations that intentionally offer intense heat rather than a general-purpose mild chile salt.

Commercial kitchens should clearly distinguish extremely spicy menu items from milder offerings so guests understand what they are ordering.
