Naga Jolokia | The World’s Hottest Chile Pepper
You spice-ophiles need to direct your eyes to this little gem. The Naga Jolokia is the world’s hottest chili, confirmed by Guinness World Records. It measures in at a digestive tract melting 1,001,300 Scoville units (Jalapenos measure 2,500-10,000 units). It cannot even be handled with bear hands. Some northeastern Indians, from where it comes, are known to use it as a defense against wild elephants. Yum.
I think this record is just a little outdated. There is another chile pepper that tops this one with a whopping 4 scoville units. It is the Bhut Jolokai. Ordering information on the website.

IT IS THE EXACT SAME CHILE, JUST ONE OF THE DIFFERENT NAMES GIVEN IT. A COUPLE CLICKS ON THE OL’ INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY. WOULD’VE REVEALED THIS TO YOU
Naga or Bhut… it’s going on my next Chipotle order.
You can buy these on the in the local shops in Londons’s Bricklane, where I’m from. there 50p a chille.
yes, but can squirrel hands be used to handle it? *bare hands*. either way, my morbid curiosity will make me get one of these, and destroy my mouth.
