A million Scoville heat units, what does that mean?

11 11 2007

Rob Stone from ESPN gets acquaintance with one of the hottest chili peppers in the world, the Bhut Jolokia (also know as Naga Jolokia).
When you take a bite of this chili pepper and Chili Pepper Institute Director’s Paul Bosland tells you that’s “a million scoville heat units” the world’s hotter pepper, taking a second bite wondering if that “was a dumb move” it surely was!

Bhut jolokias are pure fire. If I would eat one of these, I could only take tiny nibbles off at a time, taking a good minute or two between bites. These definitely aren’t for the faint of heart!

It means mother nature has endowned this small plant with properties to repel creatures that try to eat it. You have to build up to eating hot food, not jump in.
