Hottest Chilly could set your tongue afire

Warning   This news could be too hot to read. You may even end up sweating because the what we are going to tell you is a good spicy tale. Control your adrenaline as we reveal the news  to you. The fiery spice has made many eyes water, face sweat  and mouth gasping for more water.

Workers at The Chilly Factory at New South Wales  are harvesting a huge crop  of what they claim to be the hottest chilly on earth. According to the report  in the  Australian Geographic  the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T registers a taste bud   melting 1463700 on the Scoville  scale. Jalapenos  usually  register  between 2500 and 5000  units  by comparison. The previous record  for the hottest chilly was held by Naga viper  Pepper which had  registered a spice  value of 1382118 on the scoville  scale.

Marcel de Wit, co-owner of The Chili Factory  is reported to have said that  the chilly is just too wicked. He felt so because Marcel and his team had to wear gloves  while they handled the fiery flesh. Also they had to wear  chemical masks and suits while actually cooking the spice. Biochemical food expert Professor Barbara Santich from the University of Adelaide is not surprised that chillies were readily adopted in those locales. Marcel began cultivating the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T two years ago after Neil Smith, who runs The Hippy Seed Company, gave him one of the new chillies to try. The chillies are too scorching than ever.

The "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Chili" registers more than 1.4 million units on a heat scale. A jalapeno, as used in Tabasco sauce, contains about 5000 Scoville heat units; a bird's eye chilly   packs between 50,000 and 100,000.   The men said the secret to developing the world's hottest pepper lies in the fertilizer. They use something called "worm juice" which is liquid run-off from a worm farm. 

A sauce containing 58 per cent Trinidad Scorpion Butch T chilly, and called Scorpion Strike, was planned to be   launched at the Royal Easter Show.

The name Butch T or Butch T is after Butch Taylor. Butch is the owner of  Zydeco Hot Sauce  and person credited with originally discovering this strain. Butch was growing out the Jonah strain, noticed a pod variation and saved the seed. He’s been sharing the seeds for a few years. When sending out seeds Butch would include his first name last initial (common when swapping seeds) on the seed package.

The Hottest Chilly  was set by ‘ The Trinidad Scorpion Butch’  at Moisset, New South Wales, Australia on April 15, 2011.
