Naga Viper

The Chile Pepper Institute has had many inquires about the Naga Viper, the latest claimant to the world's-hottest chile pepper, since yahoo and other wire services have run the story. The Chile Pepper Institute can not confirm that the Naga Viper is the world's hottest. To confirm that the Naga Viper is the world's hottest, a scientific replicated experiment will have to be done. Mr. Gerald Fowler, the developer of the Naga Viper, is a member of the Chile Pepper Institute. The Chile Pepper Institute has contacted him and asked for a seed sample. If Mr. Fowler is willing to submit a seed sample, The Chile Pepper Institute would grow the Naga Viper and the Bhut Jolokia side-by-side in replicated trials at New Mexico State University in 2011. The Chile Pepper Institute will keep our members appraised of the results.
