Do you think you are good at eating chili?

That can only mean that you have not eaten really spicy chili. Let’s take a look at the global chili rankings.

The unit of measurement for spicy is "Scoville". Let’s introduce the world ranking of peppers.

First place: Britain, "Naga Viper" pepper (known as "spicy off your head") Scoville, 9700 hotness, tasting method: lightly touch with food, if you accidentally take a bite, you have to go to the hospital immediately

A Sichuanese who claims to be able to eat spicy food made a special trip to England to challenge, and was sent to the hospital with only one bite. The two spiciness test results of naga pepper were 87.6 million Scoville units and 97 million Scoville units, which is the current Guinness World Record holder. Most people smell a little bit of the spiciness of this kind of chili, and they immediately burst into tears. When peeling the peppers and taking out the seeds for sowing, you must wear gloves and do it in an outdoor environment with strong winds to avoid eye irritation. The owner of a restaurant said that many customers claim to be particularly spicy, but they can only "taste the naga" because it is so spicy that "it can stop the brain from thinking." Akta works in the restaurant. Miha said that this is a killer pepper and must be handled carefully. After touching this pepper, you must wash your hands and the cutting board for cutting vegetables. He said: "If you don't know what you are doing, it will Blow your head off"

Second place: Britain, "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" pepper, (known as the poisonous scorpion pepper) has a bright red appearance and is about the size of an Australian dollar coin. The grower Marcel DeWitt sent the pepper samples to the Melbourne EM L Chemistry Laboratory for testing. According to the Scoville Hotness Test System, the “Trinidad Scorpion Butch T” hotness is 1.46 million. 1.46 million units means that the chili juice is diluted 1.46 million times to completely neutralize the spiciness. The "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" pepper is named after the discoverer Butch Taylor. In the process of making chili sauce, you need to wear protective clothing and industrial gas masks to prevent the smoke from the cooking process of chili.

Third place: India, Broken Soul Pepper. (Known as Devil Pepper) This kind of pepper was previously used as a fence between fields and villages to prevent elephants from entering residential areas.

The locals believe that the extremely strong spiciness of this pepper is enough to scare the devil away, so they call it "devil pepper". "Devil Pepper" became famous for its spicy. "Scoville" with a spiciness of more than 1 million has been recognized by Guinness as the hottest pepper in the world. In addition to eating, although this kind of pepper is commonplace for locals, outsiders will still "fear three points." Once, the reporter bought a pound of dried "devil chili" at the vegetable market, tasted a little while eating, tears and snot flowed out, and he dared not eat it again. The most peculiar use of "devil pepper" is to treat stomach problems. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spicy food hurts the stomach, but the locals say that they eat this pepper every day, but few suffer from stomach problems. If someone suffers from stomach problems when they go out, they will let the patients chew raw red peppers. After a while, the stomach problems will disappear without a trace. The local people said jokingly: "The devil pepper can scare away even the devil, but I am afraid that I can't subdue my stomach trouble?"

Fourth place: Mexico, Shawina pepper, (known as ghost pepper) has a hotness of 577,000 Scoville units, which is 3 times that of Hainan’s "Yellow Lantern" pepper and 20 times that of Chaotian pepper. "Shavina pepper" is worthy of the word "ghost", even if the food is lightly touched to the smallest point, it can be creepy. Limited to legal regulations, only dried chili peppers and chili sauce are exported. But chili sauce can be used not only for seasoning, but also for making tear gas; when used for seasoning, due to the super high spiciness of ghost pepper, food manufacturers can achieve the effect of a large number of ordinary peppers with only a small amount of pepper.

Fifth place: Intelligence, Red Finger Tianjiao. (Known as the fire of hell) This is also recognized as a hot pepper. As long as you break or cut it, and touch it on your lips, your lips will immediately swell up. Therefore, hazard signs must be hung around the fields where this pepper is grown, and the same is true for processing and selling. In 1992, the contestant Gaimos, aspiring to win the chili pepper competition, swallowed 13 red-finger chili peppers in one go... 5 minutes later, he suddenly screamed and saw him puffing smoke and face. The color changed, his nostrils and earholes also puffed out smoke, and then his neck and hands also puffed out smoke. He was surrounded by flames. People screamed, some went looking for a fire extinguisher, some called an ambulance, but it was too late. At this time...Gammus was on fire, full of spicy fire, especially bright and elegant. In about 20 minutes, Mr. Gunmos burned his whole body, and his clothes, shoes, muscles and bone marrow were all turned to ashes. It is said that since then, the insurance company has refused to insure any matches that eat Chilean Red Fingers.

Sixth place: Habanero pepper, (known as ghost pepper)

After most people eat a whole one, they will be hot to the point of twitching and sweating, and they will experience short-term paralysis and weakness. It is recommended not to try casually. How spicy is ghost pepper? Its name is actually the answer: one way is because If you eat it, you will become a ghost.

Seventh place: India, Bhutan poison pepper

--Bhut Jolokia, is an improved variety of pepper from the small town of Assam, India. It was too spicy. Baslan, a professor at the Pepper Research Institute of New Mexico State University in the United States, recalled that the first time I bite the Bhutan poison pepper was like swallowing fire. The result was submitted for review and it was proved that its Skewell Spicy Unit (SHU) As much as 1 million, this number is almost double the previous hottest pepper-Red Savina Habararo (Red Savina Habararo), which is usually grown on fields and around houses in India. To drive away the beasts, even a giant like an elephant would be discouraged when faced with this pepper.

8th place: 100,000-350,000 beak chili

Ninth place: 100,000-325,000 Scotch Bonnet (Scotch Bonnet)

Tenth place: 100,000-200,000 Jamaican pepper
