Are you here because you love spicy food and want to know how to make your favorite dishes even spicier? Here are 6 spicy sauces that will challenge your taste buds. Be careful and don't say you weren't warned!
But let's first understand why people love spicy food so much. There is such a hypothesis: when we eat burning, the oral mucosa feels pain, and in order to drown it out, the brain releases endorphin, the hormone of joy, into the body. But there is no scientific evidence of this connection yet.
Another version is that almost all the most spicy sauces, spices and spices are aphrodisiacs in themselves, that is, substances that stimulate sexual desire. No wonder the Kama Sutra was written in India, the country with the most spicy cuisine!
One way or another, we invite fans of spicy to get acquainted with the rating of the hottest sauces. Their ingredients score high on the Scoville Hotness Scale, based on the amount of capsaicin in the product, the substance that makes peppers so hot.
The spiciness of Jalapeno peppers is estimated at 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units (ESS), the hotness of pepper spray is 4 million, and the hottest substance known to science (resiniferatoxin, found in Poisson's milkweed) is 16 billion units.
The hottest sauces in the world
Tabasco
Our rating will be opened by the popular Tabasco sauce, the invention of the American banker Edward McAilenny. There are several varieties of Tabasco with varying degrees of pungency - from sweet-spicy (100-600 HP) to habanero (up to 9000 units). With the exception of the green variety of Tabasco, they share a common ingredient - cayenne chili. Its sharpness in its pure form can reach 50 thousand EHS. 
The recipe for classic Tabasco is simple: pepper, vinegar and salt. But if you follow the canons, you have to withstand the peppers for three years in oak barrel, and only then add vinegar and salt.
Tabasco is indispensable for one of the most popular cocktails - " bloody mary". Just a couple of drops of sauce will give a bland dish new facets of taste. Tabasco is adored by the singer Madonna, ex-president George W. Bush and Queen Elizabeth II.
Bhut Jolokia from South Devon
If Tabasco seems like child's play to you, let's move on to the next sauce in our ranking. The Indian variety Bhut jolokia (or "ghost pepper") is considered the hottest pepper, born of nature itself. Of course, scientists have already bred varieties that are many times greater than its hotness, and yet, the sauce from it can take pride of place on the shelf of every food extreme lover. Depending on the concentration of pepper, its hotness can reach one million HP, but on average it is 700 thousand. 
Naga Vipers
A sauce made from hot Naga viper peppers grown artificially by British breeder Gerald Fowler. This is a hybrid of three super-spicy varieties: Naga morich, Bhut jolokia and Scorpio Trinidad. Its sharpness is 1,382,118 units. The creator of the pepper even joked that he would take a receipt from everyone who dared to try his creation. 
New Mexico Scorpio
The main ingredient of New Mexico Scorpion, Infinity Chili pepper, is slightly less hot than Naga Viper (1,191,595 ECU), but the sauce based on it turned out to be much spicier. 337 bottles were offered to attendees at the Fiery Foods & Barbecue in Albuquerque. Despite the rather high price ($55), the sauce was instantly sold out, because the creators presented it as the hottest sauce in the world. 
Atomic Kick Ass
This throat-tearing condiment with 12 million ECU was invented by the chef of the British restaurant "Bindi" Muhammad Karim. The sauce, the name of which is translated into Russian as "Atomic f *** c", is prepared in thick gloves and a gas mask and served to signature dish– fried chicken legs. Before tasting them, the visitor is obliged to sign a paper that relieves the restaurant of guilt for all possible consequences. 
The chef honestly states that a small fraction of this dangerous food can lead to half an hour of paralysis of the facial muscles, convulsions and internal bleeding.
The hottest sauce in the world
Blair's 16 Million Reserve
In general, Blair has a whole series of "millionth" sauces with pungency from 2 to 15 million ECU, but this sauce has become the pearl of the collection. It is difficult to call this substance a sauce in the usual sense. The 1ml vial contains the purest crystallized capsaicin. Its pungency is estimated at 16 million ECU. You can even say that this is the most burning substance on earth. The thing is purely collectible: only 999 of these bottles were produced.A man tests the world's hottest sauce (English)
There was a daredevil who dared to conduct an experiment and dissolved a crystal of capsaicin in a 3-liter saucepan tomato soup. The first spoon seemed spicy to him, but not excessive, and he treated his wife to soup. She, having tasted just one spoonful, began to cry and threatened to file for divorce. After that, the man tried his creation again and was forced to pour it down the toilet - the soup turned out to be the spiciest food he had ever tasted.

Food with peppercorns attracts gourmets because the dish, to which hot peppers have been added, has a brighter taste and aroma. In an ordinary kitchen, the hostess most often encounters black sweet peas, but there are a lot of truly bitter varieties.
The Guinness Book contains the most in the world, some of them are used in cooking in restaurants, others - for sauces, and still others - as components of military and protective weapons.
"Pepper" story
Thanks for the appearance of a burning culture in Europe, Columbus should be, who first brought this plant from one of his travels. India is considered the birthplace of fragrant, while the real sharp varieties of this plant grew in South America, and by the time the great navigator discovered the New World, its indigenous population had already “domesticated” several of them.
Soon the triumphal procession of burning fruits began all over the world. Doctors who made pepper tinctures and plasters wrote about their benefits. Cooks with the help of hot additives changed the taste of long-familiar dishes and created new recipes.
A century after Columbus traveled in vegetable gardens and greenhouses in different countries domesticated species of chili grew in Russia in the 18th century, but by this time it was already well known not only in Europe, but also in the countries of the east.
Varieties - "millionaires"
Once upon a time, a scientist from America, Wilbur Scoville, decided to establish the sharpness of various tasters, for which they were invited. Their job was to taste the pods after a sip of sugar water. The intensity of sensations tasters and formed the basis of his first scale.
With the progress and development of the chemical industry, it became possible to determine the hottest peppers in the world in the laboratory. The new scale was named after Scoville, thus perpetuating his name. There are varieties that are slightly bitter, but there are also those that will make a person feel very uncomfortable, or they can even get burned.
Truly “vigorous” fruits are considered to be fruits whose sharpness exceeds the Scoville scale mark by 1 million. These include:
- Trinidad Scorpion CARDI is a variety bred by breeders from the Caribbean Agricultural Institute of Trinidad. The name "scorpion" given to a series of these plants suits it very well, since the shape of its tip resembles a sting, and the sharpness is simply incredible. The fruits of this pepper are not used for food, since it should be collected and processed in protective clothing and gloves. From it in Trinidad make a chemical weapon - tear gas. Today it is considered one of the most dangerous among peppers, having an indicator of 1 million Scoville.
- Naga Morich - leads its "pedigree" from the northern part of India and Bangladesh. The indigenous population of these countries, knowing about the insidious burning properties of the fruits of this plant, eat it in unripe form. Gourmets, who know how to feel not only the spiciness, but also the taste of pepper, claim that it is fruity, close to orange and pineapple.
- "Bhut jolokia" - a millionaire who got into the Guinness Book of Records in 2011, in the category "most hot peppers in the world". This variety appeared naturally, and its pungency is directly related to where exactly it grows. The homeland of the most "lethal" is the northeast of India, while in the central part of the country it is completely harmless. The government of the state allowed the use of "bhut jolokiya" in tear grenades to disperse hooligans.
- "Bhut jolokia chocolate" is as famous as its red counterpart, but it is extremely rare in nature, so it is grown on plantations and used for cooking
Not all varieties of hot peppers, as it turned out, grow in their natural environment and are used for cooking. But there are varieties much sharper.
Varieties with over 1 million units
Today, many plants are bred by crossing different types in laboratories. Did not escape this and hybrid varieties of pepper.
- 7 Pot Chili - Originally from Trinidad, it got its name from the Jamaican saying that one fruit is enough for seven pots of food to pepper and flavor a dish.
- Gibralta is related to Spain, since now it is his homeland, but he was created in the laboratory of England. In order for the plant to justify its sharpness, extreme conditions for growth are created for it - high air temperature in enclosed spaces. It cannot be found in the kitchen of a Spanish woman, but it is supplied to restaurants for preparing traditional dishes.
- Infinity chili has 1,176,182 units and was artificially bred in the UK, a country where there are no traditionally spicy dishes. This red hot pepper is completely unattractive in appearance, but real gourmets love it.
- Naga Viper was bred by breeder Gerald Fowler and crossed 3 different varieties peppers. In order to grow it, you should buy seeds every time, since with each new generation its properties are reduced. To buy planting material, you need to sign up in the queue, as there are a lot of fans of such a “sharp” all over the world.
Such varieties of pepper should be used very carefully in cooking and follow the dosage according to the recipe.
Varieties over 1.5 million
There are not many varieties that have crossed the indicator of 1.5 million units on the Scoville scale. Among them:
- Trinidad Scorpion Butch T - Guinness Book Record holder in 2011. You have to be really extreme to add it to your food. The cook needs protective clothing, a mask and double latex gloves. If pepper gets on the skin, then in addition to burning, a person gets numbness in this place for a couple of days.
- 7 Pot Douglah is a type of "chocolate" pepper, but marked 1.8 million on the scale. Oddly enough, but this hybrid variety has fans who claim that this is the most juicy, fragrant and hot chili pepper.
Such experiments of breeders should be treated with extreme caution, as you can get health problems for life.
Varieties with 2 million units
- Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is the only natural specimen of this pungency. It grows in Trinidad. There is as much capsaicin in one pod as in a can of gas. Even a very small piece can kill hypertensive patients. In addition to being hot, the fruits of this plant have a pleasant fruity taste, so a small amount of pepper added to the dish will give it both spiciness and piquancy.
- Carolina Reaper - originally from South Carolina, has a rate of 2.2 million units. It has firmly taken the honorable first place in the Guinness Book since 2013.
These are indeed the hottest peppers in the world, so they must be treated with caution.
The benefits of hot pepper
Thanks to the capsaicin alkaloid found in stinging pods, they can cleanse blood vessels, “kill” cancer cells or prevent their appearance. It is useful for people with impaired metabolism and overweight, as it promotes the absorption of food.
The most popular variety among summer residents is adjika pepper. Its elongated pods with juicy and fragrant pulp are used not only to prepare the sauce of the same name, but also add a piquant taste to any dish.
