Topic: Chillies

[Vinda looo]

Ive just heard theres a new chillie been discovered called Tezpur, supposedly the hottest in the world. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of it or even used it.

Just had a look on the net and they are reporting that it has 855,000 SHU. This is not as hot as a Naga Morrich.
I think there are several chillis that are hotter than that figure.

I sent a post on a new chilli before Christmas.  It is the hottest ever and not available here yet except for businesses.

No Probs, i had to dig in to the forum archives for it.... Yes it was the Bhut I was refrring to; sorry.  Cp

The Bhut Jolokia Chilli

The Bhut Jolokia meaning Bhut = Ghost/Spirit, Jolokia = chilli pepper, in Assamese, that has been grown for hundreds of years in India, has been field and heat tested by the Chile Pepper Institute.  The heat tests record the chilli at a staggering, lip numbing, mind blowing 1,001,304 Scoville Heat Units by the Chile pepper Institute and 1,041,427 by Frontal Agritech the famous Assamese Chilli Growers. That's a massive 10% hotter than a Naga.  The Dorset Naga pepper was measured at 923,000 Scoville Heat Units.  But don't take our word for it, you now have a chance to buy the Naga Morich and Bhut Jolokia seeds for a limited time in limited amounts.  We have a number of heat and germination tested seeds.
