The flavor of the Ghost Pepper is complex, with a sweet and fruity taste initially, followed by an intense, searing heat that can linger for several minutes. It is often used in spicy dishes, hot sauces, and marinades, as well as for medicinal purposes in some cultures. 

Due to its extreme heat, it is important to handle Ghost Peppers with caution, wearing gloves and avoiding contact with the eyes or other sensitive areas of the body.
