Noah speaks with Craig Dremann, co-owner of the Redwood City
                            Seed Company, about the Indian Military's
claim that the world's hottest chili pepper is grown in
                            Assam. He says it's the hottest domesticated
pepper, but the hottest is a wild pepper called
                            the Pepper Tepin, which grows in the dry
desert mountains of Northern Mexico. His company
                            sells old fashioned vegetable and herb seeds
from all over the world, including Assam. For the
                            chili seeds, he's had to developed his own
testing system, which is similar to the scoville scale
                            at the turn of the century. (3:30)
