Organic Naga Morich Chili Pepper | 12 g Glass Vial
An explosion of tropical aromas and a slow yet relentless heat: Naga Morich is one of the most intense and fascinating chili peppers in the world. Refined, elegant, and deeply flavorful, it captivates the palate with a burn that hits a few seconds later… like a cobra’s bite.
Origin:
Native to the region between Assam (India) and Bangladesh, at the foot of the Himalayas, Naga Morich belongs to the
Capsicum chinense species. The name "naga", meaning “cobra” in Sanskrit, already hints at its effect: a delayed but powerful spiciness.
Aromas and pairings:
On the nose, it’s herbaceous, with hints of lime peel and tropical woods. On the palate, it reveals vegetal and slightly sweet, buttery notes, followed by a heat that explodes after a few seconds. Perfect for slow-roasted meats, rich ragù, curries, soups, and complex sauces.
Heat level?
High and persistent: 8/10 on our scale, with a 5–7 second delay that makes it even more surprising. It can exceed 1,000,000 SHU—use with care and respect.
Properties:
Rich in vitamin A (good for eyes, skin, and hair) and vitamin C, which supports the immune system and protects against free radicals. Regular chili consumption (at least 4 times a week) is associated with reduced cardiovascular risk, according to recent studies.
Tasty tip:
Try it in a spiced tomato sauce for a unique vegetarian ragù, or add a pinch to a lentil and coconut milk soup.
