In the world of extreme heat, there are sauces, there are extracts—and then there’s Mad Dog 357 Plutonium No. 9. At 9,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), this is not a condiment. This is not something you “dab on wings.” This is the apex of pepper extract engineering, created for one reason only: to deliver pure, undiluted, mind-bending heat.
It’s not for the curious. It’s not for the casual. It’s for the true heat aficionado—the kind who sees warnings not as deterrents, but as invitations.
“This is for the hot pepper aficionado,” says David Ashley, founder of Ashley Food Company. “The one who has to have the hottest, the purest, the best—and there is nothing close to it on the market.”
The Making of a Monster: From 1,000 Ounces to One
To create a single 1 fl oz. bottle of Plutonium No. 9, the process begins with 1,000 ounces of raw peppers. That’s over 60 pounds of fiery material, carefully processed down to a single ounce of power-packed pepper extract.
This isn’t just strong—it’s pure. And that’s why it’s handled, packaged, and sold with the kind of caution normally reserved for hazardous materials. Because in the world of capsaicin, this extract is as pure as it gets—and with that purity comes power.
A Warning Worth Repeating
Plutonium No. 9 is not a sauce. It’s a food additive only—designed to be used extremely sparingly, and never consumed directly.
One drop added to a dish is enough to light up your senses. Used improperly, it can easily overwhelm. That’s why the product carries a clear warning: DO NOT CONSUME DIRECTLY.
This is not hype. This is fact.
Why It’s the Ultimate Extract?
There are plenty of “hot” products on the market. But Plutonium No. 9 stands apart for three reasons:
-
Purity: This extract is engineered for maximum capsaicin content—no flavorings, no fillers.
-
Intensity: At 9 million SHU, few products in the world legally match its concentration.
-
Craftsmanship: The proprietary process developed by Ashley Food Company results in a thicker, almost crystalline extract—one that demands respect from even the most experienced chiliheads.
Not a Gimmick—A Standard
Some buy Plutonium No. 9 to complete their collection. Others use it in microdoses to bring fire to sauces, stews, or signature recipes. But no one walks away unimpressed. For those who measure heat in Scoville units instead of spice labels, this is the benchmark.
