A chili grown in India has set a new record as the world's hottest chili after it was measured with a rating of 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units. The Bhut Jolokia shattered the record of the previous holder, the Red Savina, which only managed 580,000 SHUs. By way of comparison the hottest chili I can handle, the Scotch Bonnet or Habanero, measures a paltry 100,000 to 350,000 SHUs.
Ouch.
Ouch.
