Hey! I came up with a blog feature, This is pepper of the week, the reason I'm doing this because of my recent fascination with the "Scoville scale", for all you who don't know, the "Scoville" scale, is how heat in peppers, Bell peppers, with their lack of spice, are 0 Scoville, whereas Jalapeno peppers weigh in at 3000-8000 Scoville and normal Habaneros can be up to 350,000 Scoville. Now to the pepper of the week.

Name: Red Savina Habanero

Highest Scoville: 577,000+

I chose red Savina for the first featured pepper because it used to be considered the hottest pepper in the world, at a flaming 577,000+ Scoville, just one gram can cause detectable heat in 1,272 pounds of sauce, I believe that the Guinness book of world records still reports it as the worlds hottest pepper although Dorset Naga, and Naga Jolokia are still hotter then this pepper.

The Red Savina was created by Frank Garcia who chose the hottest strands of pepper to grow until he finally came out with the famed Red Savina; it's not known how he did it.
