The Hottest Chilli Pepper Seeds in the World
Chilli pepper seeds are an integral part of many cultures’ cuisine. There are literally thousands of different hot pepper seeds from almost every single country in the world, ranging in flavor, appearance and hotness. The following is a list of some of the world’s hottest chilli seeds. Take a look and see if you have what it takes to try a few of them.
Bhut Jolokia
The Bhut Jolokia chilli pepper is the current Guinness World Book Record Holder for having the hottest chilli pepper seeds in the world. Bhut Jolokia peppers come from Assam, a region in North East India and they have an SHU rating of 1,001,304 SHU. The previous record holder, the Red Savina, had only half of that. SHU stands for Scoville Heat Unit, and it measures the amount of water that’s required before the chilli’s hotness is undetectable. For those of you who can not pronouce, bhut jolokia, another common name is the Ghost Pepper.
Naga Morich
One of the most respected chiles in the world, the Naga Morich has on average a heat of around 800,000 to 900,000 SHU. The Naga Morich comes from Bangladesh and it is the closest relative to the Dorset Naga.
Super Chili
This is a very popular variety of chilli because it germinates quickly and yields a lot of peppers. You can grow it easily in most climates and it is extremely hot when ripe. When it matures, it’s color changes from green to red.
The Habanero
A highly renowned chile, the habanero is also one of the hottest. It grows in Mexico and the Caribbean and has a delicious, plum-tomato taste. It has a round shape with a small point, and it’s usually around 1 to 1.5 inches long. Colors range from orange, green, yellow, brown and red. Habanero is usually eaten raw, as it loses some flavor when cooked.
Birdseye Chilli
The birdseye chilli, found throughout Africa and especially in the Congo, Mombassa, Pequin, Uganda and Zanzibar, have an SHU rating of 200,000. These chiles are small and conically shaped. They grow easily and bear bright scarlet red fruit. Birdseye chilli seeds are used a lot in Asian and Thai cooking.

Scalloped Peppers and Onions in Slow-Cooker
This scrumptious dish is one of the ultimate "comfort" foods. The thought of either cooked peppers or cooked onions takes me back to a flea market food trailer. The open windows in the trailer allowed the great aroma of cooking onions and peppers to waft out to every corner of this flea market. They made up an open faced sub sandwich with Italian sausage, kielbasa, hot dogs, or other meat items and covered it with their great tasting peppers and onions. The flea market was located in an unused portion of a local mall parking lot. The food vendor is local and so has possibly relocated to another flea market. Alas, this flea market is gone, but the memory lingers on.
This onion/pepper combination can be prepared and cooked at home very easily, and the aroma will fill the house and greet you as you walk in after work. The preparation time for this recipe is very short, and so you could call it fast food, even though to cooking time is long.
Fast foods in most people's minds are the burgers, subs, tacos, fried chicken, and pizza sold by the chain restaurants. The term "fast food" can either mean the food is made in a short time, or that you can get it in a short time. Food made in an oven with a conveyor belt, or made ahead and stored, or kept in a steam table is all "fast food". In a home setting the term can be applied to any food that can be prepared quickly. Most people would not think of food made in a slow cooker as fast food, but it's all a matter of timing.
If you can prepare a dish quickly then leave it on "automatic pilot" until ready to consume, then it could also be called "fast food".
Ingredients
2 green peppers seeded, then cut into rings
2 onions sliced thin into rings
1/2 pound processed cheese
1/4 pound sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 hard cooked eggs, peeled and sliced thin
Instructions
Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours, then on low for 2 hours or more.
Notes
As shown the dish is a great vegetarian dish but it could easily be modified to include
any number of meats, or poultry such as:
pieces of ham
diced left-over chicken or turkey
left-over roast beef
