Myself and hot peppers go hand in hand. I love experimenting with peppers . I have an added advantage of preparing new type of pickles and sauces in both Eastern and Western ways.
My DEAD MOUTH Mach II and Mach 7 sauces drew a rave review from friends.
Encouraged by this , I prepared hitherto never made sauce using Bhut Jolokia and all oriental and India specific spices.
I named this sauce as "VIRGIN HEAT".
You can see and hear the review by Mr.Justin and his girl friend Ms.Gabriella .
I am planning few more surprises soon.

Chilli peppers help relieve nerve pain
ANI14 October 2009, 01:26pm IST
A new study by British researchers suggests that people suffering peripheral pain – which produces stinging sensations, numbness, weakness, Chilli peppers may help relive tingling nerve pain (Getty Images)
burning pain – can get respite by taking capsaicin cream, an active constituent of chilli peppers .
Peripheral pains often accompany disorders like diabetes, AIDS, shingles and arthritis; cancer patients can have peripheral neuropathies after receiving their therapies.
Now a team at Oxford University has found that 40 percent people can get some relief from pain by having topical capsaicin cream containing medication.
Sheena Derry and Andrew Moore led the researcher, which compromised nine studies with 1,600 adult volunteers.
The team said that capsaicin cream could be used when the treatment has not been affective. The report has been published in the latest issue of The Cochrane Library .
However, Scott Zashin, a clinical associate professor of medicine at the Southwestern Medical School at the University of Texas, had a different take on the use of capsaicin.
He said: “One lack in this study is a failure to compare capsaicin creams to common counterirritants, such as Ben Gay or Icy Hot. The counterirritants create a warm or cool feeling to distract from the pain and they can be used on an as-needed basis, while capsaicin must be used regularly.â€
Zashin said the report ignored the “the fact that there are little data looking at the benefit-to-risk ratio of the high dose capsaicin. In addition, patients receiving the high-dose formulation required pretreatment with a local anesthetic preparation. It is unclear if this product is any better than other over-the-counter pain gels and may be more irritating with side effects such as burning.

SAGA JOLOKIA....New fad of US Hot pepper lovers
Indian chilli acquires cult following in US
Chidanand Rajghatta, TNN 5 September 2009, 09:41pm IST
WASHINGTON:
Nearly a decade after it was first discovered to be the hottest chilli on earth, the Indian firecracker named Bhut Jolokia, aka Naga Jolokia, has acquired a cult following in the west among so-called chilli-heads.
That’s right; like Dead-heads, who idolize the rock group Grateful Dead, and gear-heads who worship all things mechanical, chilli-heads revere some of the hottest chillis on the planet. And they don’t come hotter than Bhut (or Naga) Jolokia, so-named because it is native to the fiery Naga tribe, and those who taste it are said to turn ghostly.
Measured at more than one million Scofield Heat Units (SHU), Bhut Jolokia is twice as hot as the previous champ -– California’s Red Savina -- who it worsted earlier this decade (Mexican pretenders like Habanero were no match). Since then, the little hottie has become a legend among chilli-heads, grown tenderly in hothouses across the country, discussed animatedly in the higher reaches of the spice world, and sold like gold and other precious commodity on the Internet. Last month, there were 92 Jolokia related items on eBay.
''Bhut Jolokia is a beauty,'' chortled John Hard, whose Ohio-based company CaJohn (after Cajun) sells the Indian chilli in several forms, mostly sauces. ''There are lots of pretenders cranked up with oleoresins, but BJ delivers both flavor and heat in a natural way.''
Hard first heard of the fiery Indian chilli after New Mexico State University’s Chilli-Pepper Institute followed up on the claims of the Indian Ministry of Defence and found that its assertion of having found the hottest chilli in the world was true (It's not hard to guess what the MoD is using it for). Word quickly got around the esoteric (or, es-hot-teric) world of chilli-heads, and before long, it was being grown with feverish passion.
It’s a tough ask in the US, where the weather in most parts of the country is not exactly conducive to growing jolokias. Barbara Blankenship, a radiologist, and her husband Toby Morris, a fire-fighter, have just about managed to coax a few saplings in their greenhouse outside Seattle, a city better known for its cool, damp climate. ''We wanted to grow it after reading about it in a cooking magazine,†says Blankenship, an ardent gardener. ''We got the seed from Seedrack.com down in Oregon and we now have five plants that are doing well.''
Toby has a more involved explanation about why jolokia has become such a hot commodity. ''I think Americans are pretty fascinated with things that are the oldest, biggest, whateverest,†he says, recalling that he grew up with a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records. In the Fire Service, his colleagues were always trying to make the hottest chili (soupy dish); not always the tastiest, just the hottest. “Maybe it is that there aren't too many dragons for a guy to slay anymore and no frontiers to conquer?'' he wonders.
But the Seattle couple’s saplings are yet to bear any glowing results. John ''CaJohn'' Hard, who is also a former fire-fighter, has been quicker off the blocks. Last month, when he spoke to ToI, he had a jolokia plant that bore six chilli pods.
But across US, and in fact, even in Europe (who would have thunk?) chilli-heads are starting to crank them out with increasing success, says CaJohn. Most of the stuff is still imported from India though, from a company in Tezpur.
CaJohn has a whole array of Jolokia products, most of them priced around $ 10 for a bottle. The first of them is called Holy Jolokia, but the rest, driven by the owner’s spicy fervor, has lapsed into blasphemy.
When Hard came up with a Jolokia sauce and named it Nagasaurus, an artist who did the label for the bottle joked that it should be named ''Naga-sore-ass.'' He did, and the sore-ass label now outsells the saurus by 40 to one. Next up, CaJohn came up with ''Kiss my Bhut.''
Its the beginning of Saga Jolokia.

CHILI PEPPER FACE WASH....Bye bye acne
A new product called "Capisderm", made from chili peppers, is said to help eliminate acne. The product, made by SiCap Industries, LLC, a manufacturer of herbal supplements, claims to wipe out acne in a matter of days, without any of the burning sensation people come to expect from chili peppers.
The key ingredient is Capsaicin, naturally found in chili peppers, and known to be a promising acne fighter. According to Capisderm's press release...
Researchers believe it works on two fronts - First the thermal heat action of Capsaicin helps to open pores and increase blood flow to the surface of the skin. Secondly, Capsaicin has powerful antimicrobial properties that help distinguish harmful bacteria that's hiding within the layers of skin. Capsaicin also helps to desensitize sensitive skin by affecting a series of tiny nerves, and in this way it may also be beneficial for relieving chronic topical pain associated with certain circulatory conditions.
The company claims that there are immediate results within the first day or two of use. Most acne conditions will disappear completely within the first week, even with severe cases, and also prevents future outbreaks. The company claims that it will reduce wrinkles.
Eventhough this news is a bit old, it is worth a mention here.
