Dare you try the hottest chillies in the world? At over a Megascoville, these chillies are mouth-blisteringly hot and their heat intensifies as they shrink during the drying process. Bhut Jolokia are native to Assam in northern India. Bhut Jolokia should be handled with the utmost caution and used in moderation. Their fresh, citrusy flavour and searing heat make a good addition to aromatic curries and hot sauces. 20g pack.

There are many varieties of Habanero, characterised by their fresh, fruity flavour and searing heat. Although these are amongst the world's hottest chillies, the heat dissipates quickly and is actually quite refreshing. Habaneros are one of the most popular chillies as they are very versatile. Add to sauces and marinades, salsas, stews or rehydrate, slice finely and sprinkle over spicy salads.

Cascabel chillies are one of the most unusual pods you will find with their large, round shape, more like an apple. The word Cascabel literally means 'rattle' as the seeds rattle around inside the pods when dried. Cascabels are popular for their distinctive nutty flavour with smoky undertones. Rehydrate for pastes and pulps for marinades and added to sauces.

Chipotles are smoked, dried Jalapeno chillies from Mexico. The Jalapeno is a fleshy chilli that does not dry well, unless smoked in advance. The smoking not only helps the dehydration process but has the added bonus of introducing an intense smoky flavour that combines well with the unique tangy heat of the Jalapeno. Chipotles are a good addition to any sauces, soups and marinades.

Chilli de Arbol literally translates as the Tree Chilli as the long, thin pods grow on large, woody plants. They are closely related to Cayenne peppers. Chilli de Arbol pods have a searing heat and an earthy flavour that is sometimes used to make chilli oils but can also be used crumbled on top on top of dishes to spice them up or rehydrated in sauces and stews.

Heatscale 8/10

These sweet Thai chillies are about 10cm in length and are used in Thailand to add richness and depth of flavour to spicy dishes. They are often used alongside fresh chillies for their aromatic flavour, rather than their heat, which is pretty mild by Thai standards. Rehydrate, cut into chunky strips and add to Thai chicken and fish dishes for something extra special. They go well with Thai basil or fresh corriander.

Heatscale 4/10

Pasilla literally means 'little raisin' and along they do have the dark, wrinkled appearance of raisins, there is nothing little about them as they are 15-20cm long. Pasilla are sometimes known as the Chilli Negro, or Black Chilli. One of the holy trinity of Mexican Mole chillies, they are a staple flavouring in Mexico, prized for their rich flavour of dried fruit and liquorice.
