  • Explenation of Testing Our Chillies
    About our tests: Report from the lab with the results… Even our BHUT which we grow here on our property, which is the Jolokia or Ghost chilli and previous world record holder, is hotter than the “original” world record of the same chilli (we scored: 1,110,900 SHU). We found that the better you treat your chillies the hotter they get!! As a sample see report from lab… it says Bhut Hothouse ….The Bhuts from the hothouse had it too hot when heatwave came across the Hunter and you can see that they get a less hot rating straight away… too much suffering and they do not like that at all…Very sensitive and need lots of attention and worm juice offcourse! Mark Peacock knows much more about this … it is his kind of field but also on-line some various sources state actually the same as we found while growing our chillies for the past 3 years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorset_Naga The effect of climate on the Scoville rating of Bhut Jolokia peppers is dramatic. A 2005 study comparing percentage availability of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in Bhut Jolokia peppers grown in Tezpur (Assam) and Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh), India showed that the heat of the pepper is decreased by over 50% in Gwalior's more arid climate.[23] Elsewhere in India, scientists at Manipur University measured Bhut Jolokia's average Scoville rating by HPLC at only 329,100 SHU.[20] FACEBOOK Over the past year since we have had the Guinness World Record there have been stories in newspapers and on-line about the fact that we: - Tested only one pod of chilli so our record is an incident - Are not commercial growers??? - Have not tested it Scientifically Well guess what? - This is how we test our chillies, See photo..

  • 2014 Ten Deadly Peppers Hot Pepper Eating Contest
    2014 Ten Deadly Peppers Hot Pepper Eating Contest So, you think you can take the heat? Sign up for the Chili Pepper Eating Contest!!! The hotness of chilies is based on Scoville Heat Units. In 1912, Wilbur Scoville, a chemist by professions, developed a method to measure the heat leave of chili peppers. The test is named after him, known as the “Scoville Organoleptic Test.” The Substance that makes a chili so hot is called Capsaicin. Pure Capsaicin is rated somewhere between 15,000,000 – 16,000,000 Scoville heat units. To put Scoville heat units (SU) in a better prospective, a jalapeno is rated 2,500 – 8,000 SU compared to a Habanero which is rated 10,000 – 325,000 SU. Rules and Regulations Round 1: The Cherry Bomb (100 - 500 SU) Round 2: The Hungarian Wax (1,000 –15,000 SU) Round 3 The Jalapeno (2,500 – 8,000 SU) Round 4: The Serrano (5,000 – 23,000 SU) Round 5: The Cayenne (30,000 – 50,000 SU) Round 6: The Fish Pepper (5,000 – 50,000 SU) Round 7: The Chocolate Habanero (10,000 – 325,000 SU) Round 8: The Trinidad 7 Pot Yellow (500,000 - 600,000) Round 9: The Naga Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) (1,040,000 SU) *was formerly ranked as hottest pepper in the world.
