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. Round 10: The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (ranked as high as 2,009,231 SUChili Pepper Institute has identified the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the newest hottest chili pepper in the world as of February 2012. According to the New Mexico State University Chile Institute, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion ranks as high as 2,009,231 SHU on the Scoville scale, making it the hottest chili pepper in the world to date. If there is not a winner after round 10, the Carolina Reaper will be used as the tie-breaker. Contestants are disqualified if they cannot perform the instructed actions described above or if they raise their white flag at the eating table. (Milk will be provided once a contestant surrenders.)

  • Ex-Pharmaceutical Employees Speak out Against the Industry,Four
    Besieged by Guilt: Ex- Pharmaceutical Employees Speak Out Against the Industry It turns out, that old adage is true – money does not buy everything. For some, money does not buy a clear conscience. Despite earning high incomes, these former pharmaceutical employees left their jobs and are now sharing the truth of what goes on behind the curtain. Many of them have written books, participated in documentaries, and shared their stories through online videos. Here are a few. Dr. Peter Rost, Former Vice President of Pfizer Dr. Rost, a former anesthesiologist and pharmaceutical VP, is the author ofThe Whistleblower, Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman. Dr. Rost is an expert witness on Big Pharma in the areas of patent infringement, pharmaceutical marketing, drug product liability, drug marketing and promotion, and drug sales. Universities, health organizations, everybody that I’ve encountered in my former career as a pharmaceutical executive, are out there with their hands out. You know everybody’s begging for money, nobody has any money. The government doesn’t have any money. The universities don’t have money. Nobody has money. The only ones that have money are these big multinational corporations, and they have lots of money. And they use that money to basically buy influence. And the way it’s done is – number one, you give these organizations and institutions grants, grants for various kinds of research. You develop research together with them. You establish friends. You make sure that they become beholden to you. And you also pay individual professors and doctors – researchers – directly. You may pay them as speakers to travel around the country, a thousand, two thousand dollars per day, sometimes more.

  • Israel: New Arava Scorpion Peppers Pack a Punch
    Husband and wife team Kobi and Ofra Ziv-Av live and work in the sweltering conditions of Israel’s Arava Desert where they are turning their passion for fiercely hot peppers into a viable business by learning how to market their new hybrid creation – the Arava Scorpion. At www.freshfruitportal.com we spoke with the pepper aficionados to find out more. Kobi can wander around his greenhouses, pick a freshly-grown Arava Scorpion pepper from the plant and eat it whole, without even flinching or breaking into a sweat. While others approach with caution, tentatively trying a slither of his new pepper Kobi Ziv-Av creation, he happily chews down on this hot new variety named after the desert where it has been grown. Cultivating peppers has been Kobi's career and he’s mastered the art of nurturing the crop in arid, desert conditions, living the contented life of a small-scale farmer making a comfortable living by growing and selling the Habanero variety, and raising his six children. Recently though as a kind of experiment, he began to work on creating a new variety that could rival the well-known Trinidad moruga scorpion, the variety that was considered to be the most piquant and pungent chili pepper around until the Carolina Reaper came along to take the Guinness World Records title in the 2012. "I'm just a farmer, I'm no scientist," he told us. "But I know good peppers and what we have here is a very, very hot variety that we like to call the Arava scorpion.

  • Caution, These Peppers Bite
    The Washington Post - Food Caution, these peppers bite Food writer Tim Carman brings a peck of potent peppers for Post staffers to pick on. And fortunately he brings milk, too. By Tim Carman The Washington Post Published: October 30, 2012 The bright red pepper has a shriveled appearance, as if a bulbous clown nose had somehow wilted into a long, twisted witch’s beak. Between its wrinkly complexion and its nasty reputation, the Bhut Jolokia, better known as the ghost pepper, generates fear and fascination. YouTube is littered with videos of bros pumped up enough to eat a whole one — only to crumple to the floor, pounding down milk. When I cut into my first ghost pepper recently — while wearing food-safe gloves, at the urging of practically everyone who has an opinion on the subject — I was first struck by the aroma. My kitchen was filled with the sweet, tropical fragrance of passion fruit. You quickly learn that the aroma is a trap, designed to entice the innocent and ignorant into tasting the pepper. You will almost certainly regret any attempt to eat the fiery fruit straight up, with seeds and ribs. Ghost Peppers 1 of 4 October 31, 2012 The Washington Post - Food (Deb Lindsey/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) - Hot peppers left to right: Jamaican Hot Chocolate, Naga Bhut Jolokia (aka ghost pepper), Fatalii and Hot Mama (yellows) Dorset Naga Jolokia, Caribbean Red. I tried a small seedless dice of the pepper, approximately the size of a pea, and within seconds, my right eye was streaming tears down my cheek, my nostrils were dripping and, worst of all, I began to hiccup uncontrollably.
