When it comes to peppers and heat one stands above the rest, the Bhut Jolokia or "Ghost Pepper".
Ghost peppers come in at an amazing 1,000,000 Scoville Units on the Scoville scale.
Geekhealth.org contacted American Spice to test out their hottest offering : The World's Hottest Chile Pepper!!! Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Chile)
We must say that the peppers are definitely hot, but what surprised us the most was the amount of flavor these peppers contained. Also its surprising just how long the heat stays with you. Most testers could feel some level of "burn" up to an hour after they ate the pepper.
We tried to get as many people as possible to eat these peppers, and ended up getting five testers. All agreed that the pepper's heat is top notch, but nothing to be afraid of (at least if your used to eating hot foods.)
Some of the more interesting comments we heard were :
- "Oh God, when will the burning stop"
- "Great heat, the most I've ever felt from a pepper! The taste is wonderful, like a dark chili powder."
- "My mouth! I think its going numb."
Everyone that tried these peppers found them to be full of flavor and definitely full of heat. We even tried cooking some chili with these and found that just one Bhut Jolokia was enough to spice up a four quarts of chili.
We also found American Spice was really easy to deal with, and our chili's arrived quickly and nicely packaged. If your looking to try the worlds hottest pepper then this is our pick for quality service and quality spices.
