Talk about next? I don't know, I think I can just watch this over and over for a few weeks. You guys are hilarious together. I really appreciate your sacrifice for science.
I consume so much Carolina Reaper mash that it doesn't come out burning anymore. I think I melted my o-ring. My mouth can still feel the burn though, depending on how much I consume.
Oh wow. I remember when the Carolina Reaper came to be, my dad bought the seeds to grow them and when one of them was ripe enough, we each took a sliver of that thing and let me tell you, it was so unbelievably spicy that I thought my tongue was going to be vaporized. After that, he told me, “You now have earned your bragging rights.” Hahaha. You really took it to the extreme, Tasha and you have my respect. 🌶❤🔥🥵✊
If you haven't already, try eating Sichuan Peppercorns! They're not peppers and their kind of spice has a special name in Chinese. It numbs your mouth and has become pretty popular.
There's a local restaurant that makes toothpick lamb with Sichuan peppercorns. It's absolutely amazing. I generally am not a big fan of capsaicin spicy foods, but this is very different. It's spicy without the pain.
@@Frizzank15 Because it has milk and/or cream in it. Dairy is one of the best things to have before and/or alongside spicy dishes because the fat dissolves the capsaicin in peppers.
As a grower of peppers, my experience is the greener, the hotter, not the other way around. Probably because the seeds are not mature yet and so they are not ready to be dispersed until then. I have experienced this with jalapeños, seranos, tabascos, pequin peppers, and Thai chilies; especially the Thai. Of course in 2011, I discovered that drought also concentrates the heat (and the flavor).
It depends on the pepper. Color's not really a good gauge. For example, she ate the cayenne pepper green. A green cayenne pepper's not ripe, and it's going to be considerably milder that way.
This is a common pepper myth, that the seeds are the hottest part, but that is fully incorrect. The spiciest part of a pepper is the pith, the white connecting parts between the seeds and the placenta
I have eaten spicy foods for so long that I usually don't feel any pain in my mouth unless it is extremely spicy. Like the super spicy yakisoba or Hot Ones Pringles.
Most of the capsaicin is around the seeds and the center of the pepper, if you just bite the tip even an habanero will taste just slightly spicer than a normal bell pepper
They ate the cayenne green, and then were surprised that it wasn't very hot. That's because it was unripe, _and_ undried. A ripe cayenne pepper is red, not green, and they're typically used dried, whether you grind them to powder or not. So no, a green cayenne pepper's not going to be anywhere close to its normal heat.
As a Mexican I gotta say that the spiciest food I've ever eaten is actually Chinese and Korean, they really took it to eleven. I can eat comfortably habanero but anything abova that is too much for me
PLEASE PLEASE DO MOSS!!! ( specifically Hypnum Cupressiforme ) I know people might think that's boring as hell, but I've always loved it, and I am looking to make a moss garden on my screened in porch.
That's interesting to know about the Jalapenos and the ripe/spicy trade off. I often get very mild Jalapenos from the store and am disappointed so this will help me shop for more consistently spicy ones.
The heat if you hadn't known already is in the seed and membrane of the pepper. So when Tasha goes crunching up after the initial bite - of course it's going to be mad hot!
@@dingokidneys Shit! Bloody hell. Fu*%$@%&(in' %(!^÷]@$# of a fred that changes language for me. When the rugrat piffed a yonnie over the fence at the mongrel brat next door? My kid. I'm 64.
Thank you both for tasting the peppers 🌶️ for Us, I don't know how many I could handle. Used to love spicy 🔥 when I was younger. For sure reason after going through chemo (years ago) I can't handle spicy foods. Love this show!!
One Crazy Couple but this was a Gr8 episode. I fully enjoyed the content and how the information was presented. Tasha and team keep up the Gr8 work; even though I don’t provide comments after all of your episodes, I have enjoyed each one. Once again, keep up the Gr8 work.
Best Video ever!! Thank you. Your videos are always great, but this inside look and the humanity shown combined with your humble nature with a truly genuine sense of humor is awesome. Thanks Tasha and Blaise.
I once ordered a max spicy dish at a Thai restaurant and halfway through felt like I was floating off my chair. Not sure I'd repeat it, but it was definitely a memorable experience
You should have explained why dairy is the only thing that helps to alleviate the heat - it contains casein which breaks down and binds to the capsaicin. Using water or any other liquid will just spread the capsaicin further around your mouth.
I've got a bottle of rum I steeped a Carolina Reaper in. It's nearly undrinkable. It should be treated like a bitters in a very sweet and fruity cocktail. It took me nearly 6 months to work up the courage to try it. I put a shot of it in some Blood Orange juice and sneezed as I went to take a sip because of the spice. I then blended simple syrup, ice, and peaches, along with more blood orange juice, the final cocktail was a half gallon and drinkable, I then added more rum to bring the abv back up and drank it over the following week.
Different strokes for different folks. I absolutely hate spicy drinks of any kind, but love spicy food. Although, in high school I would slowly eat taco bell fire sauce packets while reading a book 🤷🏻♂️
This was a fun episode. I love spicy foods and habanero is probably my cut off. My girlfriend can barely eat jalapeno peppers so cooking at our place is very interesting in terms of seasoning foods Lol
It's worth pointing out that the spiciest bits of the pepper are the ribs and the seeds- for the reasons that Tasha mentions, probably. That's why the jalapeno got spicier toward the middle.
I'm not sure about this because when she said it was spicier she'd just got to the middle, I think it was because she'd been eating it long enough to feel the heat. It usually takes quite a few seconds for the heat to build and actually feel it.
From my experience, that membrane _is_ where capsaicin is produced in most peppers. You can actually see this when the glands are overactive, as they make a yellow stripe along the membrane. I've heard that the ghost pepper also has capsaicin production in the flesh of the fruit, but I cannot confirm.
I've read alternately that this is true and that it's just rumor. Now I feel the need to test this, so I guess I'm going to hunt up some chilies to try this on. Jalapeños probably don't have a high enough overall capsaicin content to really show (and I wasn't really sure when I taste tested), so I'll go up from there. The tricky part is that many of the spicier ones have very thin flesh. It's hard to get a sample that doesn't contain surface that could potentially have rubbed against the rib, contaminating the bite. This experiment will inevitably make some great salsa.
Given that that dairy fat is said to reduce the burn feeling I’m surprised you didn’t use premium higher fat ice cream or half&half or even table cream
Ghost peppers fuck me up more than Reapers. Reapers are just hot. Ghost is different, its almost physically painful. I grow both of them for some unknown reason, I still have dried powder from last year but I've got seedlings outside ready to repot.
"I just need to keep my tongue coated in icecream and then its fine" - my life philosophy

We will take a few weeks off in that case, thanks!

Your face in the thumbnail says it all, it's giving: "mistakes have been made and I can't even be mad about it because it's my fault".
My dog's name is Blaze and every time you said it, her ears popped up and she tilted her head 😂
As if someone on RUclips knew her by name

I loved watching Blaze's face drop a few seconds after eating the ghost pepper.

It doesn’t hurt that much when it enters your body.
The real pain comes when it leaves your body.
🔥🔥🔥
Can confirm :(

At the risk of sounding crude. The advice that goes along the hotter peppers is "put the seat belt on the toilet."
Tasha!!! I LOVE Floralogic!!! Your personality, delivery, and information is top-notch ❤

the english misnomer of the Pepper really messes me up, we should start calling them just Paprika, you know like the freaking Povder

The irony of being called Blaze and doing a degustation of spicy peppers

@@kyokoyumi That makes more sense in retrospect lol
10:20 Is that just a glass of Pepto?
yes. yes it is.
Believe it or not, the best drink I have ever tried to cool that pepper burn is eggnog.
It makes sense
Bingo! For some reason it works better than anything else I've tried! 👏 👏 👏
Eggnog and Rum with after a Spicy dinner was the best times of my life.
I think I got my first hangover from that.
@@Frizzank15
Because it has milk and/or cream in it. Dairy is one of the best things to have before and/or alongside spicy dishes because the fat dissolves the capsaicin in peppers.
Regardless whether you're a milk drinker or beer is your go-to, one thing we can all agree on is that WATER is the WORST thing you can do.
Thats a pepto milk cocktail if ive ever seen one lol
you guys should do eating different fruits... after this you deserve something pleasant xD

On the flip side. I had a Thai pepper plant kept indoors over winter in my cool house with plenty of water and they ended up being not hot at all!😅

You two are adorable!

I'm sweating for you....😂
This has been the funniest episode 🤣
OMG you had me in tears.😂
I hope Blaise was careful next time he took a piss. Those pepper oils do not come off with just soap and water.
My stomach made noises when I saw the thumbnail and I literally said out loud "don't worry friend, we aren't going to eat one."
😄👍
This is such a fun video. I needed this today

This was great! You should totally make this a series! But maybe next time do something easier like…. Citrus fruits 😂
Tasha was very funny in this loved the episode 🤣 great work guys
this was a cute video, learning and laughs ❤
7:51 nobody's gonna say anything lmao XD
That Margarita Bismol looks so good! 10:14
So logically the next is ginger, horse radish, and wasabi...
You guys are adorable 😂 Lots of love from Vancouver Canada ❤
If you think that's bad, the Carolina Reaper isn't even the hottest pepper anymore.
We cover the current reigning champ of spice at the end! (Well, Tasha tries too as she suffers under the wrath of the Carolina Reaper)
what is it then?
@@gamegod6859 Pepper X (sounds like a joke but is its real name)
@@raoulcorinth1712 And Pepper X is from same guy that did Carolina Reaper.
There's jelly made from a cactus that rates in at 16 billion scoville units. With a B.

Great video! I love sweet bell peppers, but anything higher on the heat scale burns my mouth.

The only thing better than eating spicy food is watching somebody else eat spicy food.
Here's your next challenge. Wasabi! Good luck!
Rule of thumb is if the pepper looks like it has cancer, I'll pass.
That face in the thumbnail is GOLD 😂 You have my condolences, Tasha
Too hilarious 😂 loved this episode!
I'm eating something right now that's basically liked a puffed Cheeto except it's not Cheetos brand and their Carolina reaper flavored.
Its wet and cold today and I couldn't love seeing this more!
PS: How many episodes grace do we give Mr Amazon before harassing him to return?
It hurt, but one time I ate a whole ghost chili pepper. It does not hurt right away, but when the ghost chili starts to burn, it really hurts.
Tasha went full fish mode after ghost pepper
I HATE watching people east, but the reactions and interaction you two had made this hilarious.
I don't even know where to look for those, I use a bunch of cayenne but my mouth doesn't even feel it anymore.
This had me laughing so much out loud my wife was wondering what was going on 😂
Oh Tasha I just love you!! 🥰🥰🥰
The heat if you hadn't known already is in the seed and membrane of the pepper. So when Tasha goes crunching up after the initial bite - of course it's going to be mad hot!
I love spicy food but cant really tolerate it....I have to build up my tolerance I guess
All RUclips channels converge on this point eventually 😂 thank you for your service
Hahaha it's like the Godwin's law of self inflicted pain
“My tummyyyyyy!” I feel that just LOOKING at some of these!
I'm still rolling around! That was priceless. A real review. An Aussie on board too! Well done. Greetings from Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺 😊.

All of that dairy combined with all that spice would just give me spicy runs 🥵💩
Fray Bartolomé de las Casas said that "Without chili, Mexicans do not believe they are eating". Like a mexican, i confirm it
0:53 NOW, WHERE ARE MY CHILI BOOTS?!
You should definitively eat sour plants next, like lemons or limes
It's crazy that they went out of their way to gather all those spicier peppers and then only nibbled a combined speck of one 😂
Peppers may make you hallucinate and I love their reaction to all the peppers
I once ordered a max spicy dish at a Thai restaurant and halfway through felt like I was floating off my chair. Not sure I'd repeat it, but it was definitely a memorable experience
Tasha, with your great tolerance to pain you should do a segment on Brave Wilderness, experiencing all the most painful plants ;)
- How come half way through my mouth is watering. 🤤
It was great watching this, I almost pissed myself laughing. Thank you, I had a few bad days, this was very helpful, you werw great.😂

I wonder how much hotter peppers can get before the phrase "capsaicin poisoning" becomes a thing.
During college I worked in a food laboratory, and we used HPLC to measure capsaicinoids (and converted the to Scoville heat units).
The instant regret
in my family we use the juice from green chile's or hot sauce to discourage thumb sucking when kids get older.
