Brand new, hot, and delicious -- the Naga Viper

Hot peppers are used frequently in Thai, Mexican, Spanish and Indian cuisine. The newest world’s hottest pepper, the Naga Viper, develops from a male’s greenhouse in England, however. The Naga Viper rates greater than 271 times hotter than the most well-known pepper, the jalapeno. A few have gone as far as applying for a payday loan just to import this pepper .

Nevertheless in a position to grow Naga Viper in England

The Chili Pepper Company, also as a pub, is owned by Gerald Fowler. He has been breeding hot chilies for quite a few times. Three very scorching chilies are crossed so the Naga Viper pepper can be created. This is what Fowler did. The Trinidad Scorpion plant, the Naga Norich and the Bhut Jolokia are all mixed together. This is how the Naga Viper is made. He did the crossbreeding all in his 8-by-16 foot greenhouse although it took him many years. Fowler said that hotter peppers are encouraged to "fight back" when being developed in the harsher environment like England has.

The hotness degree of the Naga Viper

Chili peppers and their heat are rated using the Scoville scale. This scale measures the amount of capsicum in a pepper. The compound that gives hot peppers and pepper spray all the heat in it’s what Capsicum is. The last record holder took it in 2007. The ranking of 1,001,304 is what the Ghost Pepper had on the Scoville scale. The Scoville showed at Warwick University to have the Naga Viper ranked at 1,359,000. About 5 million on the Scoville scale is what mace spray carried police officers have.

Ways to use the Naga Viper

Making a really hot curry was the original reason Fowler developed the Naga Viper. Fowler explained that curry is designed to be “hot enough to strip paint … numbs your tongue and burns all the way down.” The spice is bad. This is just as much as the endorphin rush is good. You will find other ways you can use the Naga Viper, although it is in curries that customers have to sign a release form before eating. The Naga Viper might be purchased by the Indian government in order to make non-lethal "pepper bombs." The government has also thinking about replacing the cash crop of opium poppy for the farmers.
