LONDON: The hottest Indian chilli 'Bhut Jolokia' will be available
across Britain this week, giving buyers a taste of hottest pepper in
the world.
Tesco says they are stocking the fiery food because of Britain's
current love affair with spicy stuff and hot chilli peppers in
general.
The Bhut Jolokia is an interspecific hybrid from the Assam region of
northeastern India and parts of neighbouring Bangladesh. It grows in
the Indian states of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur.
Bhut Jolokia scores a fearsome 1,001,304 points on the Scoville scale
that measures peppers' heat. The average jalapeno comes in at about
10,000.
"All I can say is that it is not for the faint-hearted or anyone with
a respiratory condition. It is an incredible sensation as the heat
continues to build for a good 30 second" a buyer was quoted, as saying
by The Daily Mail.
This extreme spice is used by the Indian security agencies to disperse
mobs and protesters.
The Bhut Jolokia as well as most of Tesco's other chillis are grown in
Blunham, Bedfordshire, by the UK's largest chilli grower, Salvatore
Genovese, who produces an incredible 150,000 chillis each day. (ANI)
