Insanely hilarious how many people ate these things. Still, most of the videos I saw on youtube made it impossible to tell if what they were eating were actually Bhut Jolokia. They can be eaten fresh, actually the fresher they are the less heat they have.

The Jolokia has a very bumpy, rough texture unlike the habanero and other chiles, usually 3 - 3 1/2 inches long. They say the seeds are very difficult to germinate, as well to grow. 50F and below will hurt the plants and damage leaves. Mine is outside now and will probably come in for winter. Although I'm in zones 9-10 we almost got the frost once or twice last winter. I wonder how my 'ice cream' will fair.

Good luck to you guys if you decide to grow them, and wear some gloves to remove the seeds before you eat the fruit!!! LOL
