Milk chocolate is best because of its higher volume of casein, but capsaicin is also more soluble in fat than in water, so it will be carried away by the fat content of the chocolate. Casein, the protein found in milk, breaks down the bonds that capsaicin (the active component that makes chili peppers spicy) forms on our nerve receptors.

If you know the spice might be too much, have a glass of milk or a square of chocolate on hand. You could use this in recipes but be careful to only add a little at a time if you want to make something that is enjoyable to eat as well as surprisingly spicy! Our favorite way to enjoy it is to simply pair it with crackers and challenge our friends to eat it. Watch their reactions as they try to withstand the spice. Carolina Reaper pepper is between 1.4 million and 2.2 million Scoville units! A Cayenne Pepper is between 30,000 – 50,000 Scoville units. A bell pepper has a Scoville rating of 0, with paprika reaching 1,000 and a jalapeno heading up towards 10,000. Tasting Carolina Reaper Cheese is an experience that you won’t forget! This cheese may actually cause a rush of endorphins, and may even put hair on your chest!įor reference, the Scoville Heat Scale measures how spicy foods are in Scoville units.
