There's Blairs 16 million reserve.

Yes, 16 million scoville units.

There's how you use it.

Yes, it's crystal. Equivalent to eating 50 red savana habaneros at once.

No it's not. A red savina is somewhere north of 500,000 Scoville units. So what you meant to say was that it would be like eating 32 red savina's at one. However, even that would be wrong. Eating 32 habaneros or 50 habaneros is no different from eating one habanero. It's just a larger volume of the same heat, the intensity doesn't multiply with each succeeding pepper. It's 32 times worse than eating a single red savina, not the same as eating 32 of them.

they will fvck U up /end thread

That's a good point about the intensity not incrementing with quantity. I hadn't thought of it that way before.

I bought a jar of of pickled habanero's about 10 years ago thinking to myself 'How hot can they be...?' I fixed some mexican food that night and ate one... It was like chewing on razor blades...

I managed to keep the thing down, and after some beer and later some milk to try and soothe my stomach, finally went to bed... About 3 in the moring I woke up sweating, and my stomach was swollen and rigid like an oak barrel. It felt like I had a hot coal burning its way out of my stomach... I stumbled up and around and tried to figure out what to do... I was in some serious pain. I even called the poison control center. They asked me how long it had been since I had eaten it, and then suggested eating white bread and drinking some more milk. I laid in bed the rest of the night sweating and rolling around trying to get comfortable...

Then next day I think I left scratches in the porcelain of the toilet bowl with my fingernails when it exited my bowels... That night will live on in hot pepper from hell memories for me until the day I die..

Doesn't really matter in this case. Easting a single red savina or a few drops of that stuff that's 16million Scoville units is probably going to leave you begging to die.

I like hot peppers and chow down jalapenos like candy. Those are around 5,000 Scoville units. A few years ago a friend got hold of some piquin pepper seeds and planted them. They grew and I tried them. BAD MISTAKE. Pure pain, it was a tiny dab on the end of the tongue and piquins top out at only 50,000 or so. I can't imagine actually biting into one of the really powerful habaneros. Would probably send most people to the hospital.

Question.. I've never eaten habaneros but I know they have the reputation of the hottest peppers in the world. I have however eaten asian chillies and I have to say they are DAMN HOT! So how do the 2 compare to anyone who has tried both?

Asian chillies

 

[ssvegeta1010]

What about a Brian Peppers?

Okay, Ive been spending too much time on ytmnd....

Anyway, Ive had some locally grown sauce with habaneros, and even with only a tiny amount of pepper in the sauce, its still really hot.

 

[mrrman]

When I ate a raw one straight up, picked no more than an hour earlier, I wasn't lieing when I said it got me high.

I heard dogs barking in my closet, swear to goodness.

They'd probably be good in chili.

Dude you are lucky nothing serious happened. Eating habanero like can cause inflamation of the throat and sinus and can cause convultion for some people. You got high because of endorphine overload.

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sign me up. It starts with dogs barking in the closet then the walls melt, then you are having thirtytwosomes with the thirty two hottest women on planet earth.

Hmm...

Wonder if there's any money in growing rare peppers.

I'm a buyer. Melting walls. Dogs barking. Flying carpets. Shooting bazookas. Whales V's. Hot sex ITB.

Hey, aren't those Habanero peppers the type they had to eat on Fear Factor? Sounds pretty hideous.

I love being half Mexican. Somewhere in the fact that I look totally white, the only hispanic part on me has to be my tongue. I love hot foods... totally drench Mexican food with hot sauce as I watch my friends sweat and become ill. Last night, my uncle gave me a red jellybean pepper. I popped it in my mouth and chewed it up, it was hot, and definately cleared my sinus... but it was nothing I couldn't handle. I've has habanero sauce before (heck, when I was in Rocky Point, Mexico, I put it on everything), wondering what I should do next.

Freebase pure capsaicin?

 

[imported_Reck]

what's the point in eating foods that cause physical pain?

Gotta share this Darwin instance with you all.

A few years ago I had a quantity of scotch bonnets and habaneros that I didn't know what to do with. I had pickled some, roasted some, and I decided to dry some. I wanted to make the equivalent of crushed red peppers, substituting the hotter peppers, for shaking on pizza, stromboli, etc with the dried ones.

Well I dried them and then tossed them in the food processor. They ground up to a perfect consistency for sprinkling on food. When I cracked open the lid on the food processor, the tiniest dust erupted out the top, got some in my eyes, and I inhaled a nice dose. Words cannot describe the experience. Eyes were burning and tears flowed like a river. I couldn't take anything more than short, wimpering breaths. I honestly felt like a pressure cooker ready to explode.

ahh yes you're right.

I looked up the intensity of a red savana yesterday on the net and found a site that had it listed at around 326,000

I would have tested this myself, but my Personal Home Scoville Testing Lab went down last night.
