That's HOTT!!!

The Dorset Chilli is not something for the faint of heart, but only for those absolute connoisseurs of very hot food; as well as those with asbestos-lined stomachs should even consider trying.
However, that said, there are an increasing number of chilli heads as they are officially known, that not only appreciate but endorse these tiny vegetables. The tiny ingredient was recently used to make the worlds hottest curry, a Bollywood Burner in a London restaurant. As part of the 2006 programming, the BBC gardening team ran a trial looking at several chilli samples, including Dorset Naga. Heat levels were tested by Warwick HRI and the Dorset Naga came in at 1,598,227 SHU, the hottest heat level ever recorded for a chilli.  Although this is an extremely hot pepper, it has been known as being beneficial in helping sweat out the bodys toxins which are obviously beneficial to your health. So, if you think you can sweat it out, give this pepper a try sometime, even if its just to say you ate the World's hottest pepper.
