Also this guy is soo cool and soo chill.

@@callumboothroyd3766 Scoville units do not depend on weight, they are relative to weight. One gram of a certain kind of chili has the same amount of scoville as a boat load of that kind of chili. Scoville units (if I remember correctly) are measured by mixing a chili with water until you can't detect the heat any longer. So if a chili has 1000 scoville, you need an amount of water that's 1000 times its weight to achieve that.

@@FunningRast As I said, it is relative to weight. Pure capsaicin has 16 million scoville, meaning that you need 16m times the amount of water to dilute a given amount of it for it to become undetectable. This means 16m is the maximum, you can't get any purer. Things with 16m scoville have to consist of only capsaicin. Now, if something has 8m scoville, this means half of it consists of pure capsaicin, 4m scoville means 25% and 2m means 12.5%. Anything that has 2m scoville, whether it's a hot sauce, a whole chili or just a piece of it, consists of 12.5% capsaicin.

My favorite part... Ed cuts the pepper, eats a bit, coughs, says "that was a mistake" then cuts another piece and eats more. Love it.

"it's still a super hot pepper and should be handled with care" he says as he's handling everything with his bare hands.

I get the shakes when I eat extremely spicy food too. And when I'm on camera. And when I'm giving presentations.

It's funny how watching Ed Currie actually feel a bit of heat and call a pepper "stupit" hot makes me think a) I never want to be in the same *room* as one of those, and b) I want to watch all my favourite silly youtubers (Moist, Rhett and Link, LA Beast, etc) eat one and lose their minds.

I'm pretty sure rhet and link did eat a reaper at least

It's amazing to see how he can actually tell the flavors of the pepper. I know he bred the Carolina Reaper (there is a documentary about him actually on KZfaq) but still that is pretty amazing. He also handled all that spice so well too.

Thanks for giving us the Reaper! One of my favorite foods! Grow them every year and make hot sauces, chili, and salsa out of those and several other higher end peppers.

Great video and Ed is a BEAST but is anyone wondering how on earth the chilli peppers are sticking to the board? 😦😦😦

Peppers: "I'm adapting so if anything eats me it gets hurt" Ed: "It's a hot and fruity blast"

I just have to say , I am not a pepper enthusiast or even a spicy foods enthusiast, but this video was extremely entertaining and I watched the whole thing

Absolutely love Carolina reapers. I know a lot of people don't like the flavor, but the slow build on the heat and the flavor are both great for me.

When mark wiens came to Trinidad the scorpion pepper was a major highlight in his videos, the comment section alone shows how much even the locals respect it 🔥
