Hottest pepper in the world
There are many different varieties of chili peppers, and the heat level of a particular pepper can vary depending on various factors, such as where it is grown and how it is grown.
The Scoville scale is a measure of the heat level of a pepper, and it is based on the concentration of capsaicin, the chemical compound that gives chili peppers their spicy taste and heat.
According to the Scoville scale, the hottest pepper in the world is currently the Carolina Reaper, which was officially recognized by the Guinness World Records in 2013. The Carolina Reaper is a hybrid pepper that was developed by Ed Currie of PuckerButt Pepper Company in South Carolina. It has a Scoville heat unit (SHU) rating of over 2 million, which makes it one of the hottest peppers in the world.
Other extremely hot peppers include the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia), and the 7 Pot Douglah. These peppers have SHU ratings of over 1 million and can be very hot and spicy when consumed. It is important to note that these peppers are extremely hot and should be handled with caution. It is also important to keep in mind that different people may have different tolerances for spicy foods, and it is always a good idea to start with small amounts and work your way up if you are not used to eating very hot peppers.
