Ghost Dust is made from the Naga Bhut Jolokia pepper, the hottest pepper in the world. So, as one would expect, Ghost Dust spikes the Peppers of Key West Heat Level scale at 10 out of 10. This is one mighty little shaker with only one ingredient- Jolokia Pepper, otherwise known as the Ghost Pepper. Basically, this is pure heat in a powder form.
At Peppers of Key West, we take heat seriously and this is, by all accounts, one serious dry spice. It's a free country, thankfully, so you can do whatever you want with Ghost Dust, but I will offer a few suggestions. First, use it sparingly. One shaker should last you a good long time. Second, use sparingly. This is really hot stuff and for even the most seasoned chilihead it will light your fire. Third, use sparingly. Get the point? It's just dang hot stuff!
Although there is a unique flavor in the Ghost Pepper, it is most often lost because the heat is overwhelming. That said, if you follow my suggestions above, you will be able to taste the underlying pepper flavor in your dishes. That holds especially true for dishes with a higher liquid content, such as chili and soups. Just a dash of Ghost Dust will spice up an entire batch of anything. So, enjoy, it's a really fun product to cook and "play" with and Ghost Dust has earned it's "Weapons Grade" rating.
The Naga Bhut Jolokia pepper is the hottest pepper in the world as is this powder. Pure ground Jolokia pepper is what you'll find in this small but mighty shaker. The ingredient list for this powder is very easy to remember - Jolokia pepper, nothing else to mess with the extremely hot flavor that the people in northern India enjoy!!
