How hot is the devil chili?

Devil chili is rich in the mountains of northeastern India. Because it is so hot, locals call it "Devil Pepper". This kind of pepper is recognized by Guinness World Records as the hottest pepper in the world. After becoming famous overnight, it is a common food on the table of local residents. Locals believe that the chili pepper is so hot that it can scare the devil away, so it is called "devil pepper".

Devil chili is famous for its spiciness, which is more than 1 million "Scoville" and is recognized by Guinness as the hottest chili in the world. "Scoville" is the unit of hotness of chili peppers, which is generally considered to be the hottest Mexican chili pepper with a spicy degree of only 10,000 "Scoville". This kind of chili is common to the local people, but outsiders will still be "afraid of three points." A reporter bought a jin of dried "devil chili" at the vegetable market, tasted some of it during the meal, and burst into tears and snot, and never dared to eat it again.

In addition to eating, devil chili is also often used locally to treat stomach problems and relieve heat. It is generally believed that people with stomach problems avoid spicy food most, but a kind of pepper produced in India is a good medicine for stomach trouble. This kind of red pepper, which grows in the mountains of Assam in northeastern India, has the size of its thumb and is extremely spicy. Local people can't eat without this kind of chili pepper for a meal, just like Shandong people's Cake Rolls with scallions, using cakes to roll red chili peppers raw.

A small bite of devil chili can be unbearably hot, a small piece of raw "devil chili" can make people cry, and a whole "devil chili" is a great destruction to the sensory organs. Some people say it's like drinking a cocktail made of battery solution and glass fragments. Doctors in India say many people are also puzzled by this, but they speculate that the effect of this chili pepper may only be suitable for local tastes. If outsiders are changed, it may not be an antidote to stomach trouble, but a poison instead.

After the Devil Pepper entered Guinness, it became famous overnight, and its price rose rapidly. Today, "Devil Pepper" sells for 250 rupees ($6.2) per kilogram, an increase of 50 rupees ($1.24). In order to satisfy the frenzy of "taste for pleasure" among the world's hot-loving people, all parties in India have made positive preparations to meet the demand upsurge. Farmers have released more land to grow "devil chili". Pepper exporters are actively seeking cooperation with the International Association of Pepper enthusiasts, and government officials are busy discussing further development plans for Devil Pepper.
