AND I NEARLY GOT KILLED BY THIS CHILLI!
It's called the Naga Jolokia..here's what happened..I was at this farm somewhere in SG..then I saw this chilli plant..the staff there told me it's the hottest chilli in the world and it comes from India..I told him don't bullsh!t la..so he gave me one chilli ask me go home try..
So I went home to try it..I cut A LITTLE..REALLY A LITTLE..so small it's like a small pee-sai..i popped it into my mouth and chewed it..At first nothing happened..then the spicy-ness hit me!
Bloody hell was it HOT! It burnt my tongue for half an hour..I drank one whole carton of milk but it didn't work..

The Naga Jolokia (also known as Bhut Jolokia, Ghost Chili, Ghost Pepper, Naga Morich) is a chili pepper that grows in northeastern India (Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur) and Bangladesh. It was confirmed by Guinness World Records to be the hottest chili in the world, displacing the Red Savina.
Ripe Nagas measure 60 mm (2.4 in) to 85 mm (3.3 in) long and 25 mm (1.0 in) to 30 mm (1.2 in) wide with an orange or red color. They are similar in appearance to the Habanero pepper, but have a rougher, dented skin—a main characteristic of the Naga.
In 2000, scientists at India's Defence Research Laboratory (DRL) reported a rating of 855,000 units on the Scoville scale, and in 2004 an Indian export company called Frontal Agritech obtained a rating of 1,041,427 units, which would mean it is almost twice as hot as the Red Savina pepper and roughly equal to the similar-looking Dorset Naga, which is derived from the Naga Jolokia. For comparison, pure capsaicin rates at 15,000,000–16,000,000 Scoville units.
The pepper is used as a spice in food or eaten alone. One seed from a Naga Jolokia can sustain intense pain sensations in the mouth for up to 30 minutes before subsiding. Extreme care should be taken when ingesting the pepper and its seeds. It is used as a cure for stomach ailments. It is also used as a remedy to summer heat, presumably by inducing perspiration. In northeastern India the peppers are smeared on fences or used in smoke bombs as a safety precaution to keep wild elephants at a distance.
For comparison, normal chilli is only a few thousand, never exceeding ten thousand, on the Scoville Scale..compare it to this chilli..1,000,000 on the Scoville Scale..
I took the seeds out from the chilli and I am planting it now..
If I give you try, will you try just a teeny-weeny bit of it? -

Somewhere at Lim Chu Kang I remember. But exactly where i dunno.Originally posted by donex:What farm arh? -
one way of 'killing' the spicyness for me is to eat a banana.

The pepper spray you talking about is having a very high concentration of capsaisin derived from chillies and pepper. The Naga Jolokia has the highest concentration of capsaisin in a NATURALLY OCCURING fruit.Originally posted by LatecomerX:From Wiki:
