The Times of India Kounteya Sinha Apr 03 2015

A farm in southwest England has started growing Naga chillies -bhut jolokia -for the first time on British soil after years of trial and error.

The South Devon Chilli Farm's whole stock of 300kg of bhut jolokia, which is cultivated mainly in Assam, Nagaland and Manipur, this year was [consumed] within weeks.

The farm owner, Steve Waters, told The Times of India it was difficult to grow the Naga chillies. He said the chilli takes seven months to grow from seed to ripe fruit. “ Its demand in Britain has been rocketing and we have finally grown it on British soil in large volumes.“

Waters said people do not have to bank on dried Naga chillies imported from India but can buy them fresh, plucked straight from the farm.

“This is the first year we have started selling the fruit and have become popular.We are also making super fiery sauces from the Naga chilli,“ he said.
