  • Lot of people love spicy food. I like spicy food that gives you good flavor also. I can't have just heat, it also needs to taste good. Today I ran an experiment using the world's hottest peppers, scorpion and Carolina reaper.

He could have just grilled the steaks and it wouldn't matter because it's not only just a normal steak again, but the focus was just putting pepper in butter. Not exactly riveting content.

    2 years ago, I set out to build up my spice tollerance by eating every pepper i could find on the scoville chart. I spent about a week to 2 weeks eating everyone raw in sequence, over time, one by one. As the spicier peppers came into play, id start out eating just the flesh and then moved into the white inner parts (the placenta) of the pepper. The Scotch bonnets took me about a month to get used to once I got there. After that, some peppers took longer to get a tollerance for and now Ive done the 1 chip challenge twice and on the last one (newest version), my stomach said no more. Almost ended up in the hospital. Now Im relatively comfortable at eating Da Bomb on just about everything I can but I can only eat so much before it becomes fire culo. Trust me, eat every pepper in sequence and give yourself time. Before you know it, your taste buds will be just as destroyed as mine are now lol.

    My mother liked spicy food, so she set out to make sure all of her kids could take the heat. She started slowly adding hotter ingredients into things, and over the years, we just got use to it. I'm delighted about it because it opened up a whole different field of delicious foods. If I had to recommend a way to start building your way up, find the spice that just starts to make you uncomfortable and stay there until you get used to it. Continue pushing forward until you hit your goal.

    To build your pepper tolerance, swish the "spicy bite" around longer on the palette. This does two things: A) dilute the swallow with added saliva (saving the gut during practice) and B) ph balance the pepper oils specific to your body's ph (saliva; adaptation). Keep the heat all upstairs and never downstairs and "practice" gets a lot easier.

      I've never heard them called "challenge peppers", but I can see why people would call them that. The universally accepted term for them is just "superhots". Scorpions are definitely the best tasting superhot variety I've ever had. Reapers have a tiny bit more heat, but almost no flavor at all.

    • @eric_d
      @eric_d Před 2 lety +1

      @@Akeldama9 Many different things affect the taste and heat of a pepper. I've never had a scorpion that tasted smokey though. I have some smokey ghost pepper powder that I use every now and then, but it was flavored that way. Maybe the only scorpions you've tried had added smoke flavor if you think they are just smokey pain. Every time I've had scorpions from many different places, they were always BY FAR the best tasting superhot peppers I've ever had. When it comes to reapers, I love the heat they can add to a dish, but I never eat them for the flavor, because out of all of the reapers I've ever had, there really hasn't been any flavor at all, only heat. I've had both scorpions and reapers (as well as many other superhot varieties) from several places around the USA with different growing conditions, including some grown in my friends back yard garden, and the results are very consistent. The scorpions always have the most flavor (and a GOOD flavor), and the reapers are just plain hot without much, if any, flavor at all. Everyone's taste buds are different too, so I say just eat what you prefer.

    You are a brave man. I've heard of horror stories when some friends tried making spice powder out of some scorpions. They weren't gentle about opening up the processor and the dust plume... you can guess.
    A tip to build your spice tolerance is slowly incorporate it daily, start with black pepper if that is too much , then work up to adding some hotsauce to everything that will taste better with it. Before you realize it, you've got a tolerance.

Need to switch to scotch bonnets - without going up in the scoville's just a different flavor profile. I was all the way at ghost (before the reaper was made) and went to reaper almost as soon as it was released. BTW there's a 1000 sellers of reapers on local craigslist and marketplace around me. I'm staying with Habanero and switching to others in the same range when I get immune.

I have gouda that has scorpion peppers in it thats what made me think of this. id love to see whatever you could do with it!

    I had a friend who worked at a university in germany and researched the best way to get rid of the burn after such a meal. The winner was a freshly toasted toast and mascapone spread on it. The combination of the rough texture of the toast which scrpes off the heat and then the mascapone to cool things off. Don't know if this will even make a dent with this amount of spice but if all is equal this should beat nearly everything

    • @DefinitiveToast
      @DefinitiveToast Před 9 měsíci +1

      Ed Currie's suggestion is to use lime or lemon juice, the acidity removes the capsaicin from the receptors they're attached to in your mouth. The toast makes sense, but idea behind milk or dairy calming receptors is known as a very temporary relief and more of an agitator in the stomach, so you'll feel worse later on. His method does work wonders as I often eat ghost peppers and such, it makes sense too he is the mad creator of the reaper as well so he would know the cheats to eliminating pain haha.

    In my experience, it is faster to increase spicy tolerance by continuously eating low-mild spicy (and then slowly increasing spice levels) often rather than to eat crazy spicy food less often. Especially accounting the fact that you eat less if it's more spicy. It's like sports, you get good by doing more, not by playing intensely.

  • @jamiesuejeffery
    @jamiesuejeffery Před rokem

    I just made some Carolina Reaper hot sauce. I cut the stems off of the fresh peppers, dry roasted them (blistered) in a pan. Then I dry roasted a few cloves of garlic still in the paper until they were soft. After they cooled, I put both the peppers and the pealed garlic into the blender with salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and a splash of water. Blended until smooth. The sauce has a pleasant smoky taste to it and the apple cider vinegar adds just a bit of sweetness. But use sparingly and with caution. It packs a punch.

  • @shanemcguire170
    @shanemcguire170 Před 2 lety +1

    @ Guga- I am a Pepperhead, Some might disagree with my personal method, I started with Jalapeno and Hatch Peppers. I then worked up to Serrano, and Scotch Bonnet, (Habanero). Basically started from the bottom of the Scoville List and worked my way up. Not that I would eat these with regularity, But worked up to Scorpion, where it was not just miserable. The Bhut Jolokia and the Reaper were very last on the list. Once you get to the level of these peppers, (Scorpion and hotter), they go in hot, and your other "Stuff" comes out hot. I have quit eating the Super Hot Chilis, will still occasionally try something that someone says is hot... but honestly, Jalapeno and Hatch Chilis are my personal favorite and I love cooking with them. For my Chili Beans I make, I go no hotter than Serrano Peppers. For most folks the Serrano Peppers are enough heat. Just my experience using Chili Peppers. For the Polynesian food, (Jerk Sauce, its the Scotch Bonnet I like best for that.

    @GainingDespair Před 2 lety +5

    I'll be honest, the spicest thing I've every had was a habanero. I've had many hot sauces before, several that where ghost pepper and spice but nothing really came close to the real habanero pepper.
    I've always enjoyed spicy, but really at least in the US most "spicy foods" is a dash of ground pepper. Hot sauces are a long way off, and while they are easy to use, and nice to have with shrimp none actually get close to the actual intensity of a real pepper (at least on the higher end).

    • @Gremalkin1979

    • @Ceekayedmusic
      @Ceekayedmusic Před 2 lety +1

      Fresh habanero is about what you want to build tolerance for anyway. The vast majority of hot sauces don't come even close to that, so you can enjoy their taste and take the hotness as an added benefit rather than as an extremely painful and unenjoyable experience.
      My threshold these days is that if my whole face goes numb and I start drooling uncontrollably while eating, it's probably a tad too spicy.

    • @dylanzrim3635

  • @Mcgriddles90210
    @Mcgriddles90210 Před 2 lety +5

    Just so you know the spice doesn't come from the seeds, it comes from capsaicin inside the pepper. It's the membrane that holds the seeds as well as the thin light-colored ridges on the inside of peppers. Removing the seeds does nothing for taste, only for texture

    • @OronisTheWanderer
      @OronisTheWanderer Před 2 lety +1

      Yup, it's the white pith that has a higher concentration of capsaicin. So in this instance, where he cut the seeds out, it might actually help a little with the level of spicy. But people who merely scrape and wash the seeds out, but leave the pith in, are doing nothing at all to reduce the spiciness.

    the best way to build spice tolerance quickly is just constantly consume the level of heat you wanna be at nearly every day. I started putting large amounts of scorpion pepper sauce on burgers, chicken sandwiches, mixing with mayo to dip fries/tots, putting some on breakfast burritos or dinner burritos. After a while of eating it all the time, you will be able to handle any heat level below that sauce with ease. Spice tolerance builds very quickly if you eat it regularly

    Hatch Green Chile. Work your way up from medium up to hot. Great flavor, especially when the pepper is flame roasted to get that skin charred and removed. The smokey flavor of fresh roasted green chile is great.
