The second hottest pepper in the world

If you are a lover of really hot peppers, then you must have heard of this scorpion. The fact that this pepper is a real challenge for only the most adventurous individuals is confirmed by the fact that it was one step short of holding the top spot for hotness in the Guinness Book of World Records. But it was the Carolina Reaper, the current record holder, who robbed her of that title.

Technique of attack

So what can you expect when you bite into the world's second hottest chilli pepper? Ironically, nothing really special happens at the start. Only its fruity flavour is released and you don't know what all the people are crazy about. And then it comes!

The pepper starts to burn and steadily increases its intensity. Millions of stings are getting into your tongue and you know this devil is not going to leave you alone! You're sweating, hard-breathing and feeling dizzy? No big deal. It's the only way to eat it.
