15 Dec 2014: A bagful of bhut jolokia i.e. ghostly-hot capsicum peppers at the roadside market outside Tezpur University, Assam. It is over a million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). In fact, in 2007 it was the hottest substance on the Scoville Scale, 900 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. It has since been superseded, and the current record is held by the Carolina Reaper, a cultivar i.e. cultivated variety (twice as hot).
