Experts at the University of Warwick tested, measured and recognized spicy viper Naga world champion. To determine the spiciness, Scoville scale is used. The previous record belonged to India's Bhut Jolokia peppers, which was recorded by Guinness in 2007 with 1,001,304 spicy units. The third place is Red Savina chili with 577,000 units. Meanwhile Naga Viper peppers reached 1,359,000 Scoville units.
The cultivator of this super hot pepper is Gerald Fowler , a British pepper farmer. This 52-year-old man spent five years breeding chili varieties from India, the Caribbean . to get this Naga Viper chilli.
"It hurts to eat this chilli," Mr. Fowler told the Daily Mail newspaper. " It was so hot that it could peel off the paint. " Indeed, the Daily Mail reported that defense researchers investigated whether it was possible to use this chili's potential as a weapon .
Super spicy peppers are not only spiced for a spicy dish, but are also used to make riot weapons. Indian defense officials have produced 81 mm, non-toxic but very powerful grenades because of spicy and aggressive behavior, forcing criminals to crawl out of entrenched positions or to disperse small riots.
But Mr. Fowler, who gave customers the signature of both a mental and physical well-being before trying to taste Naga Viper chilli , claimed that the consumption of this hot pepper was good for body.
"It will make your tongue numb, and then it will feel hot down," he warned the journalist. "This feeling can last for hours, and you don't want to talk to anyone or do anything. But it's a magical endorphin. It makes you feel great. "
According to the Daily Mail , the super-spicy seeds of Naga Viper were sold to the Edinburgh Gardening Association and supplied to Afghan farmers, in place of poppy cultivation.
