No Jalapenos? Well try these peppers

Published Aug 2, 2008
A bottle of Blair's 16 Million Reserve, probably the hottest food on Earth. This isn't even a sauce: it's pure pepper extract in crystal form. Rated at 16 mil. Scoville Units (3,000 times hotter than a jalapeno), a single grain can reportedly superheat an entire pot of soup.
