ZonaOrganik.Com - Dorset Naga hottest chillies in the world - 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, and can be harvested at either stage of maturity. They can be up to 30 x 50mm in size, but can be smaller when the plants are grown in pots.
The plants are tall and ungainly, and when grown in the ground and given plenty of light, they can reach 1.5m or more. When grown in pots, however, their height can be considerably reduced.
Approximate heat level: 544,000–1,221,000 SHU
Dorset Naga (Capsicum chinensis) is superhot chilli, origianlly selected from the Bangladeshi chilli, naga morich.
The heat level has ranged from 661,451 SHU for green fruit in 2007, up to 1,032,310 SHU for ripe fruit harvested in 2009.
Dorset Naga displays the typical characteristics of Capsicum chinense: slow germination; large, soft, slightly pale green leaves; multiple flowers per node; greenish petals; annular constriction; late maturing fruit; and floral aroma of the fruit.
In addition, Dorset Naga displays its own varietal characteristics. The plants are robust, consistently growing to a height of 1.5m or more. They are bushy, producing many branches from the base.
The fruit start green, and ripen to a red colour. They are wedge-shaped, with three locules and often a nipple at the end. Although some can be quite small, the fruit are generally 4-5 cm long and 3-4 cm wide at the shoulders. Larger fruit can be up to 6 cm long. The skin is finely wrinkled, and the flesh is thin. The most significant feature of Dorset Naga, however, is its extreme pungency, which makes it a contender for the title of ‘hottest chilli in the world’.
