In a feat demonstrating a seemingly iron digestive tract as much as an iron will, an Indian woman beat out all other contestants in a contest to eat the most “ghost chili” peppers. The peppers are recognized by Guiness World Records as the world’s hottest.
Anandita Dutta Tamuly performed the feat Thursday, cheered on by celebrity British chef Gordon Ramsay who was visiting India’s northeastern Assam state for a television shoot for his new global food series.
The thumb-sized chili pepper was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the world’s spiciest chili. It is eaten in India’s northeast as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat.
The chili has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili’s spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.
