It took years, but since yesterday (16-10-2023) the Carolina Reaper has been replaced by the Pepper X as the hottest pepper in the world. The creator of this facemelting hot pepper, Ed Currie, who is also the famous guy behind the Carolina Reaper pepper, worked on the Pepper X for no less than 10 years.<\/p>\n

Scoville rating<\/h3>\n

The new hottest pepper in the world scores a whopping 2,693,000 SHU on the Scoville scale. That is almost 1 million SHU more than the average with which the Carolina Reaper was in the Guinness World Book of Records for 10 years. To create this new chili, Ed Currie crossed a Carolina Reaper with a pepper he received from a grower friend. Totally evil stuff!<\/p>\n
