Even a tiny sip is enough to make the eyes His nose was dripping with hot juices as if on fire on the top of his head. That’s how the “chili king” recognized by the Guinness World Records has tremendous power.

Yet it’s ironic that for hundreds of years, devil’s chili has been eaten with a concentration of 1,000,000 Scovilles. (a unit for measuring the spiciness of chili peppers) is considered a traditional remedy for people in northeastern India to treat… stomach pain and fight the heat of hot summer.< /p>

 

A few years ago the world almost never heard of the name “bhut jolokia” as well as the remote countryside of Jorhat in the Indian state of Assam.

 

Until the year 2000 when The Ministry of Defense Research Institute declared “bhut jolokia” to be the hottest chili pepper in the world and was confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records, then its reputation began to be confirmed.

The spiciness of chili is evaluated based on on the content of capsaicin – a chemical that creates a spicy taste measured in Scoville units.

 

The famous Tabasco chili sauce has a concentration of 2,500 to 5,000 Scovilles, like the famous Mexican hot pepper Jalapeño from 2,500 to 8,000, even the former world champion – Red chili. Savina habanero – a staggering 580,000 Scovilles… it all seems like “waste”.

 

The spiciness of bhut devil pepper jolokia please say   1,001,304 Scoville units to the last odd number.
