THE WORLD’S HOTTEST CHILI
/ by Jerry Redfern. It’s the king of chilies; so hot that villagers in the highlands of Northeast India use it to keep wild elephants at bay and Indian defence researchers have experimented with them as a non-lethal way of quelling riots. About a thousand times hotter than your average chili, it goes by many names, King Cobra Chili, Naga Chili and, among the locals of Nagaland where it grows, Bhut Jolokia. Whatever it’s name few can dispute its fierce bite. In 2007, the Guinness Book of Records declared Bhut Jolokia the world’s hottest chili. Writer Karen Coates and OnAsia photographer Jerry Redfern donned their asbestos gloves and traveled to the epicenter of this chili phenomenon. A full text is available for this story.
