Well, what is the hottest chili pepper in the world?

A kind of chili pepper is abundant in the mountains of northeastern India. Because it is so spicy, the locals call it "Devil Chili Pepper". In February this year, this chili pepper was recognized by Guinness World Records as the hottest chili pepper in the world. After "Devil Chili" became famous overnight, it quickly became popular all over the world. It is reported that even a small bite of "devil chili" can be unbearably spicy. Eating a small slice of raw "devil's chili pepper" can bring tears to your eyes. A whole "Devil's Chili Pepper" is an absolute devastation to your senses. Some say it feels like drinking a cocktail of battery solution and shards of glass. "Devil chilli" grows in the mountains of Assam in northeastern India and is a common delicacy on the tables of local residents. The locals believe that the spicy taste of this pepper is enough to scare away the devil, so they call it "Devil's Pepper". "Devil's Chili Pepper" is famous for its spiciness. With a spiciness level of over 1 million Scovilles, it is recognized by Guinness as the hottest chili pepper in the world. "Scoville" is the spiciness unit of chili peppers. The Mexican red chili pepper, generally considered to be the hottest, has a spiciness of only 10,000 "Scovilles". In addition to being eaten, "devil's pepper" is also commonly used locally to treat stomach problems and relieve summer heat. It is generally believed that patients with stomach problems should avoid eating spicy food, but a kind of chili pepper produced in India is a good medicine for treating stomach problems. This red pepper, which grows in the mountains of Assam in northeastern India, is the size of a thumb and extremely spicy. It is called the "Devil's Pepper." The locals cannot do without this kind of pepper in every meal. They roll the red pepper in the pancake and eat it raw just like the Shandong people roll the green onion in the pancake. Although this kind of chili is a common food for locals, outsiders are still "afraid of it." Once, the reporter bought a pound of dried "devil chili" at the vegetable market. After tasting a little while eating, tears and runny nose flowed out, and he dared not eat it again. The most peculiar use of "Devil's Pepper" is to treat stomach problems. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, spicy food can hurt the stomach, but local people said that they eat this kind of pepper every day and rarely suffer from stomach problems. If someone went out and got stomach trouble, they would let the patient chew raw red peppers, and after a while, the stomach trouble would disappear without a trace.

The locals jokingly said: "The devil's pepper can scare away even the devil, but you are afraid that you can't subdue a small stomach problem?"
