World's Hottest Pepper(Bhut Jolokia)

A good friend of mine grows many types of peppers from exotic such as these all the way down to bell peppers..let me tell you first hand these things are no joke..for example a lot of people are under the impression that habenero are the hottest...Wrong!...habs are rated at between 250,000 and 350,00 on the scoville scale...Bhut Jolokia are rated at over 1,000,000!..they burn for a good 20 minutes or so...and the same on the other end too!...Watch out!

  1. Would this be classified as an ornamental pepper? And not really meant to be eaten?
