What does the world's hottest pepper look like?

For people who like to eat chili, it's a real life picture. But do you know what the hottest chili in the world is? Recently, with the help of scientists from the University of Nottingham, British Welsh chef Mike Middleton Smith cultivated the hottest chili in the world.

He named the pepper "dragon exhale". According to Scoville's spicy degree detection system, the spicy degree of "long Tuqi" is more than 2.48 million units. Scoville's hot degree test method is to dilute the pepper juice to taste no hot taste. 2.48 million units means that the chilli juice can be diluted 2.48 million times to completely neutralize the spicy taste. Experts believe that anyone who swallows one of these peppers could die of anaphylactic shock. Its pungent smell volatilizes into the air and even causes anaphylactic shock. Therefore, it must be kept in a special container.

Smith said "long Tuqi" has received a certificate from the Guinness World Records certification body confirming that it is the world's hottest pepper. Rather than being used as food, Smith would like dragon breath to be used for medical treatment.
