The naga pepper produced by a farm named "Ocean Spring" in Dorset, England, was recently recognized as the hottest red pepper in the world by the American Spice Trade Association, and the farm owner is planning to apply for Guinness World Records.
According to reports, the breeder Michaud and his wife must wear gloves when handling this kind of pepper. Ordinary people will immediately burst into tears when they smell a little spicy pepper. Customers on the farm said that when making curry sauce, use half a root of naga pepper, and the sauce will be too spicy to eat. The owner of a restaurant said that many customers claimed that they could eat spicy food, but they could only "taste" naga pepper because it was so spicy that "it could make the brain stop thinking".
The spicy degree of pepper is expressed in Shi Gaubil units, and the hottest pepper recorded in Guinness World Records is Shawna red pepper, with the spicy degree of 57.7 million Shi Gaubil units. The results of two tests on the spicy degree of Naga pepper were 87.6 million Shi Gaubil units and 97 million Shi Gaubil units respectively.
