Q) How hot are super hot chillies?
A)One of he most frequently asked questions – Our chillies range in heat from around 600,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units) right up the 1,600,000 SHU! That’s hot!
Q) Can Naga chillies damage your health?
A) In short no but if used irresponsibly they can cause considerable discomfort. Some people are able to ‘enjoy’ the heat of eating whole Naga (or any) super hot chillies whole but to the majority of people the raw heat is too intense. Care should always be used when handling and super hot chilli by wearing gloves when cutting and avoiding touching sensitive areas of the body without washing hands thoroughly.

Q) How hot are your chillies?
A) Very hot! they range from 500,000 to 1,400,000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units) – another one of the very frequently asked questions
Q) Can I grow super hot chillies from the seeds from chillies I get from you?
A) You can try! The chillies we grow for fruit production are not grown in isolation so the chance of cross fertilisation is high – the resultant fruit from a cross may not be true to the fruit you took the seeds from – in short if you want to grow your own Naga Chillies then we would say always buy seed from a known good seed supplier that will be true to the variety.
Q) Are you a commercial grower?
A) I suppose we are – but we are small. Everything is done by hand just like in the hobby days when all we had was an 8 x 6 greenhouse. Same passion just more chilli plants!
