Extreme · 1,000,000 – 1,500,000 SHU
Close cousin to the ghost-pepper family — wrinkled pods and serious million-plus potential.
About the pepper
Naga Morich is another Bhut-forward landrace: heavily wrinkled, irregular pods with blistering heat and a savory, almost smoky aroma.
On Harmony’s heat columns it sits with Ghost pepper and 7 Pot Douglah — the “call the fire department” tier for whole-pod use.
Also known as
Naga, Serpent chili

Often confused with Dorset Naga selections in UK gardening.
Fact 3
Same rough SHU class as ghost in many tests.
