Chilli plants growing in Mizoram state of North East India.

The north-eastern region of India claims that the chilli peppers grown in this region are the hottest in the world. Genetic resources of chilli pepper landraces in north-eastern India have not been well documented, but a few names mentioned include 'Naga Jolokia', 'Bhoot Jolokia', and 'Bih Jolokia'.

n recent year, the traditional crop of Manipur in Northeast India, the Naga King chilli (Bhoot Jolokia or Naga Jolokia) locally called U-morok is giving importance in the scientific community as it was reported to be the hottest chilli in the world. Besides, Manipur, the crop is also traditionally cultivated in Nagaland, Assam and other North-eastern States of the country.
