If I had to recommend a way to start building your way up, find the spice that just starts to make you uncomfortable and stay there until you get used to it. Continue pushing forward until you hit your goal.

[@THEleatherface24]

2 years ago, I set out to build up my spice tollerance by eating every pepper i could find on the scoville chart. I spent about a week to 2 weeks eating everyone raw in sequence, over time, one by one. As the spicier peppers came into play, id start out eating just the flesh and then moved into the white inner parts (the placenta) of the pepper. The Scotch bonnets took me about a month to get used to once I got there. After that, some peppers took longer to get a tollerance for and now Ive done the 1 chip challenge twice and on the last one (newest version), my stomach said no more. Almost ended up in the hospital. Now Im relatively comfortable at eating Da Bomb on just about everything I can but I can only eat so much before it becomes fire culo. Trust me, eat every pepper in sequence and give yourself time. Before you know it, your taste buds will be just as destroyed as mine are now lol.

To build your pepper tolerance, swish the "spicy bite" around longer on the palette. This does two things: A) dilute the swallow with added saliva (saving the gut during practice) and B) ph balance the pepper oils specific to your body's ph (saliva; adaptation). Keep the heat all upstairs and never downstairs and "practice" gets a lot easier.

@ Guga- I am a Pepperhead, Some might disagree with my personal method, I started with Jalapeno and Hatch Peppers. I then worked up to Serrano, and Scotch Bonnet, (Habanero). Basically started from the bottom of the Scoville List and worked my way up. Not that I would eat these with regularity, But worked up to Scorpion, where it was not just miserable. The Bhut Jolokia and the Reaper were very last on the list. Once you get to the level of these peppers, (Scorpion and hotter), they go in hot, and your other "Stuff" comes out hot. I have quit eating the Super Hot Chilis, will still occasionally try something that someone says is hot... but honestly, Jalapeno and Hatch Chilis are my personal favorite and I love cooking with them. For my Chili Beans I make, I go no hotter than Serrano Peppers. For most folks the Serrano Peppers are enough heat. Just my experience using Chili Peppers. For the Polynesian food, (Jerk Sauce, its the Scotch Bonnet I like best for that. -Shane

I'm a stereotypical North American white Canadian dude who lived in an remote village until I moved to a large city. My idea of spicy was a few grains of black pepper.

[@MrCrisTheRo]

You are a brave man. I've heard of horror stories when some friends tried making spice powder out of some scorpions. They weren't gentle about opening up the processor and the dust plume... you can guess. A tip to build your spice tolerance is slowly incorporate it daily, start with black pepper if that is too much , then work up to adding some hotsauce to everything that will taste better with it. Before you realize it, you've got a tolerance.

[@Hellraiser988]

Chris you are 100% correct but the way I went about gaining my tolerance was different I just kept diving into the deep end went straight from Jalapeno Pepper's to Ghost peppers

[@seshadrisrinath]

Yea that's the slippery slope I slid down. I am now limiting myself to Habanero, and am getting immune to it. Need to switch to scotch bonnets - without going up in the scoville's just a different flavor profile. I was all the way at ghost (before the reaper was made) and went to reaper almost as soon as it was released. BTW there's a 1000 sellers of reapers on local craigslist and marketplace around me. I'm staying with Habanero and switching to others in the same range when I get immune.

Scorpions are really tasty. Definitely my favorite of the challenge peppers, but a scorpion vs. ghost pepper challenge would be better, since the two have such highly contrasting taste profiles.

[@Akeldama9]

Ugh. Scorpions are just smokey pain, reapers have a more pleasant taste for a few seconds until their heat kicks in.

[@eric_d]

I've never heard them called "challenge peppers", but I can see why people would call them that. The universally accepted term for them is just "superhots". Scorpions are definitely the best tasting superhot variety I've ever had. Reapers have a tiny bit more heat, but almost no flavor at all.

[@eric_d]

@@Akeldama9 Many different things affect the taste and heat of a pepper. I've never had a scorpion that tasted smokey though. I have some smokey ghost pepper powder that I use every now and then, but it was flavored that way. Maybe the only scorpions you've tried had added smoke flavor if you think they are just smokey pain. Every time I've had scorpions from many different places, they were always BY FAR the best tasting superhot peppers I've ever had. When it comes to reapers, I love the heat they can add to a dish, but I never eat them for the flavor, because out of all of the reapers I've ever had, there really hasn't been any flavor at all, only heat. I've had both scorpions and reapers (as well as many other superhot varieties) from several places around the USA with different growing conditions, including some grown in my friends back yard garden, and the results are very consistent. The scorpions always have the most flavor (and a GOOD flavor), and the reapers are just plain hot without much, if any, flavor at all. Everyone's taste buds are different too, so I say just eat what you prefer.

I just made some Carolina Reaper hot sauce. I cut the stems off of the fresh peppers, dry roasted them (blistered) in a pan. Then I dry roasted a few cloves of garlic still in the paper until they were soft. After they cooled, I put both the peppers and the pealed garlic into the blender with salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and a splash of water. Blended until smooth. The sauce has a pleasant smoky taste to it and the apple cider vinegar adds just a bit of sweetness. But use sparingly and with caution. It packs a punch.

[@dane_with_swag]

Oh yes, it reminds me of when my siblings got a little creative with their Christmas presents and gave me a box full of snacks and sweets filled or coated with Carolina reaper. As a chili enthusiast, that's when you know they love you 💖

[@johnflores3103]

Advise to Guga. I like spicy food. I have a high tolerance to spicy food. Speed is not the key. If you want to build tolerance just start adding the peppers that are spicy but not enough that you can't eat anymore. Put them in your favorite food and in time you will notice that it gets easier. Then you can increase to the next pepper. But a bit of advice since you already like butter chicken you can use that as your spice-tolerance food. Everytime you want to increase your spice tolerance you cook the butter chicken with the pepper you can handle. Now once you feel you can increase the pepper just do so but have a side dish with plenty of dairy. That's why your side dish with the cream cheese worked in helping alleviate the spice. But you have to accept the fact that the process of slowly increasing your spice tolerance will be painful. I remember in one of your videos that you did martial arts when you were younger. In martial arts, you took most of the beating before you got better and did the beating. That's how it will be with your spice tolerance. You will take in alot of the heat before you can get used to it. So eat enjoyable foods to make the journey far less painful and more rewarding.

[@flurry1337]

I had a friend who worked at a university in germany and researched the best way to get rid of the burn after such a meal. The winner was a freshly toasted toast and mascapone spread on it. The combination of the rough texture of the toast which scrpes off the heat and then the mascapone to cool things off. Don't know if this will even make a dent with this amount of spice but if all is equal this should beat nearly everything

[@Taz_H]

My trick to curbing the pain is munching on salty corn tortilla chips. I don't know if it's the corn or the salt but it works.

[@DefinitiveToast]

Ed Currie's suggestion is to use lime or lemon juice, the acidity removes the capsaicin from the receptors they're attached to in your mouth. The toast makes sense, but idea behind milk or dairy calming receptors is known as a very temporary relief and more of an agitator in the stomach, so you'll feel worse later on. His method does work wonders as I often eat ghost peppers and such, it makes sense too he is the mad creator of the reaper as well so he would know the cheats to eliminating pain haha.

[@pieking4]

so I found that raising your spice tolerance isn't just about gradually eating spicier foods/sauces/seasonings, but simply just incorporating even low levels of spice into your food daily. my sister used to have absolutely no competition in the spice department, then I noticed after eating foods with fairly mild hot sauces on top on a daily basis that one day without realizing it I was able to keep up with her. I think it comes down to extended, consistent exposure just as much as pushing the limits.

[@JTMusicbox]

You can build tolerance to capsaicin by increased exposure over time. You can take cayenne pepper supplements in increasing amounts or find ways to beat the heat while getting used to hotter and hotter peppers. I find cottage cheese works pretty well.

[@alcapone5791]

the best way to build spice tolerance quickly is just constantly consume the level of heat you wanna be at nearly every day. I started putting large amounts of scorpion pepper sauce on burgers, chicken sandwiches, mixing with mayo to dip fries/tots, putting some on breakfast burritos or dinner burritos. After a while of eating it all the time, you will be able to handle any heat level below that sauce with ease. Spice tolerance builds very quickly if you eat it regularly

You should have tried the scorpion first since it has the lower scoville ranking. It kind of seems like you only think its worse because the Carolina reaper built up properly, more than it being the scorpion itself.

In my experience, it is faster to increase spicy tolerance by continuously eating low-mild spicy (and then slowly increasing spice levels) often rather than to eat crazy spicy food less often.

I'll be honest, the spicest thing I've every had was a habanero. I've had many hot sauces before, several that where ghost pepper and spice but nothing really came close to the real habanero pepper. I've always enjoyed spicy, but really at least in the US most "spicy foods" is a dash of ground pepper. Hot sauces are a long way off, and while they are easy to use, and nice to have with shrimp none actually get close to the actual intensity of a real pepper (at least on the higher end).

[@Gremalkin1979]

Habanero is a good option if you want some heat without to much pain. I have a mango habanero sauce i use if i want to spice things up.

[@Ceekayedmusic]

Fresh habanero is about what you want to build tolerance for anyway. The vast majority of hot sauces don't come even close to that, so you can enjoy their taste and take the hotness as an added benefit rather than as an extremely painful and unenjoyable experience. My threshold these days is that if my whole face goes numb and I start drooling uncontrollably while eating, it's probably a tad too spicy.

[@Mcgriddles90210]

Just so you know the spice doesn't come from the seeds, it comes from capsaicin inside the pepper. It's the membrane that holds the seeds as well as the thin light-colored ridges on the inside of peppers. Removing the seeds does nothing for taste, only for texture

[@OronisTheWanderer]

Yup, it's the white pith that has a higher concentration of capsaicin. So in this instance, where he cut the seeds out, it might actually help a little with the level of spicy. But people who merely scrape and wash the seeds out, but leave the pith in, are doing nothing at all to reduce the spiciness.

Like how you mentioned liking flavor and not just pure heat, I like flavor too But I have a collection of bottles made to be pure heat, even a bottle that’s legit pure capsaicin dissolved in vinegar. It’s fun

Fun fact: Scorpion Peppers were used by fisherman to remove barnacles from their boats in Trinidad. Not sure who the first crazy SOB was to try eating it lol. Love your vids Guga and the team, keep it up :)

[@rojack1947]

You brought me to tears laughing at you Guga you big Chicken. Oh my that video goes into my funny as heck library. Keep up the great work and thank you for all your effort.

[@amberrodriguez1740]

8:56 not the hips cups! 😆 LOL!!

[@cherisselambert3774]

As a Trinidadian we eat Trinidad scorpion peppers its tasty.. yes the death choke with the heat when you add a lot but it brings out a different flavour, we just blend it with vinegar likes and salt to make a scorpion sauce and pour it on everything as yall call it Hot sauce. We say pepper sauce and it sure is hot.

[@limonahmed5835]

i love maumau more because of this video bc i freaking love spicy food 😍

[@zak_5994]

i’m only 2 minutes into the video and my mouth was getting very watery and i started sweating. i remember when i ate a dried carolina reaper pepper as a dare. that was quite possibly one of the dumbest things i’ve ever done in my life. i LOVE spicy food and i love spicy food challenges. but there’s a fine line between spicy hot wings and just pure pain. i had to call off of work the next day because i was so sick. i’ve also been pepper sprayed before (not due to illegal activities) so i’m well-versed in the spice realm 😂

8:24 WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! 😂😂 8:26 HEEEEELLL NOO!!

[@joshpena414]

Best way to build tolerance is spicy soups! Any of your favorite soups and stews put red pepper flakes and slowly scale up the amount of spice and different spices! def reccomend

[@adamscott2219]

I totally agree with Maumau, Scorpions are delicious with red meat. Reapers do have decent flavour but they are mostly about the heat.

[@FLmetalhead]

The heat in peppers actually doesn’t come from the seeds. It comes from the “placenta” which is the white area that fills the center which the seeds are attached to.

[@Perro_Picante]

Mad respect to Guga. He put himself through his own personal hell for a KZbin video.

[@nugs18]

Maumau.. Glad to see you man!

[@eldibs]

Props to Guga for performing the culinary equivalent of pepper spraying himself just to find out if the peppers actually taste good.

[@bigman3534]

you should invite moist critikal to a collab where you both try spicy steaks together. much love

[@Rulle666]

Guga needs to collab with Johnny Scoville from Chase the Heat!

[@zippo3300]

i just love your videos pls never stop making them

[@delawarecop]

To program your palate to accept spicy foods, it requires 2 steps after placing spicy food in your mouth and chewing. 1) Allow your mouth to fill with saliva to the point where you must swallow 2) Swallow the food and allow the mouth to fill with more Saliva, then swish & swallow. That's it. You have just reset your palate to accept that level of spice intensity. Enjoy the rest of the meal. This technique can be used at any time in the future to adapt to highly spiced foods!

[@feiryfella]

There's zero heat in the seeds. The heat is in the placenta-the white pith. I take seeds out because of the texture, not the heat.

[@MrAlwaysRight]

The way I built my spice tolerance was by buying a pack of ghost or scorpion peppers and just popping a whole pepper once a day. I just started with the hottest stuff and skipped the middle. It was addictive because after most of the pain was gone you literally get almost high. Like, I felt like I was kinda floating, like I could breath so well and run forever, it gave me weird crazy energy and slightly killed negative feelings like depression. So I would look forward to popping them in my mouth, whole peppers. Then I upped to Carolina Reapers and try to buy them wherever I can, and now I don't even sweat anymore. But man, Carolina Reapers are EXPENSIVE as hell and so so hard to find.

[@Leonson1]

Depending on where you are you can grow Reaper plants yourself (I do in Seattle). They're a late bloomer though so plants that are seedlings now likely won't produce fruit until October. That high is the endorphin dump. We call it 'pain nirvana'.

[@Jkev24]

Not sure if they have it still, but that ghost pepper salsa at Trader Joe's is a good way to build up spice tolerance. Stuff is addicting in terms of flavor, but also packs a punch. Feel like it's one of those "It hurts, but tastes so good" types of dishes. Killed a whole tub in 20 minutes and man I was in that spice euphoria with my head sweating and flushed. That will likely set a good baseline for you. It's about a 6/10 spiciness (if Carolina reaper is a 10). Honestly, if you can work your way up to handling 8/10 spiciness at a Thai restaurant, that pretty much is all you need to be able to handle any dish that isn't created for the specific purpose to make you feel pain.

[@Viperjjr]

Guga is killing me. Love it 😂😂😂

[@Ata5ll]

That wood you served the potato side dish on it really looked cool!

[@ExPwner]

Guga when Angel curses: “bro this is a family channel! No cursing!” Guga when spicy steak: fills entire swear jar inventory of the internet

[@underourrock]

Hatch Green Chile. Work your way up from medium up to hot. Great flavor, especially when the pepper is flame roasted to get that skin charred and removed. The smokey flavor of fresh roasted green chile is great. Not as hot as what you've already had, but definitely hot enough to help you build up more of a tolerance for it.

[@pussy4breakfast145]

CAM might be the SPICE KING, but GUGA is the STEAK KING !!!!

[@adh1980s]

“The hips cups came errbody” 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

[@adrianaslund8605]

Serving it with dairy is a really good idea. You get a quick intense hit of capsaicin but the casein in the milk keeps it from lingering too long.

[@godchild69]

Guga, build your tolerance with simple fruit smoothies. Make your favorite fruit and Greek yogurt smoothie and to the blender add 1 habanero. It is awesome good. Then after you try a couple of those, step up to ghost, then 7pot, then scorpion, then reaper. You can quickly get used to the spice that way.

[@robvegas9354]

Great recipes all round there!!

[@Hyperion-5744]

How did it compare to Da'bomb was it spicier or equal to it. I still need to order Da'bomb and some other hot sauces.

[@seaworld6955]

Imagine snorting that fat line of pepper 😂

[@indarican1575]
