Ghee Chili-Nei Milagai

Ghee Chili, or Nei Milagai, is a very rare heirloom variety of Capsicum annum. This expensive variety is very difficult to propagate and is actually grow in government funded communes that exist to preserve these rare heirloom genetics. Ghee Chili gets it name because the chili release a distinct buttery fragrance, and a rich mouthfeel upon cooking.  The rare quality allows one to impart a ghee-like flavor without adding any additional fat. It is known to have a scoville rating of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).

Planting Guidance: Seeds should be sown 8-10 weeks before planting out after last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 in. deep in well-drained soil in shallow flats. Maintain soil temperature at least 75-85 degrees F for good germination. Peppers won’t germinate in cold potting soil–heat makes a big difference in seeds germinating in 5 days, or seeds taking up to 20 days.
