And the chiltepine? It boasts an
                 ultra-hot 75,000 Scoville units, earning the
                 name, “the mother of all chilis.” 

wonder if she every ate a hab?
I think the "mother of all chilis" is meant to be interpreted as to mean
what she says in the following line
“They are the basis for virtually all the
                 peppers we eat in this country,” Tewksbury
                 says. “Bell peppers, jalapeños, serranos, you
                 name it — this little pepper is where they all
                 came from.” 

75,000 SU is warm but not screaming hot..
