Ok I not the hot the better type but thought why not try this......... Just a taste. I love crackers in my chili and dripped one in. It tasted good. I took a spoonful. Yum. More crackers.. Yum then OMG get the milk!!! My lips started to burn. My goodness this is hot. I burped like 4 and half hours later and felt like my mouth was just lit up........... LOL. He took it in to work cause the guys want to try it.... A group of guys in a office after eating very hot chili....... giggles.... I am glad I don't work there.
The girls said NO WAY.. They are smart....
So this is what I learned about the ghost chili and how hot it really is. I guess I should KNOWN after last night....Capsaicin is chemicalthat causes the heat. They rank or score the pepper by Scoville units. They identifies and measures amount of Capsaicin in the peppers A measurement of one part capsaicin per million corresponds to about 15 Scoville units. Ok so what does that mean? I found this info to better explain just how hot this pepper is.
tabasco sauce ranges -2,500 to 5,000
jalapeno pepper - 2,500 to 8,000
Red Savina habanero, -580,000
bhut jolokia - 1,001,304
The cool thing I also learned that they believe that this pepper is good cure for stomach problems.
Well maybe my stomach doesn't burn like most spicy foods can do.... Not sure I would try this when it hurts!
