Carolina Reaper – The World’s Hottest Pepper

Official by Guinness World Records. The Carolina Reaper is THE World’s Hottest Pepper.

This “thing” called the Carolina Reaper (AKA HP22B) is better described as the demon pepper child that was invented by man. There is nothing normal about this pepper. It was bred for heat and that it is. Oddly enough this pepper has excellent flavor as well. Normally superhots have chemical undertones as if you can actually taste the capsaicin. The Carolina Reaper has a sweet and fruity flavor, that is right before the heat kicks in.

One unique feature shared by a few of the super hot peppers is the “scorpion’s tail” that is very well defined in this pepper. It gets its tail from being a cross between a Pakistani Naga and a Red Habanero.

Questions & Comments

I hate to tell you, but this pepper is the 2nd hottest pepper in the world. I grew the Ghost pepper last year which has a 1,000,000 on the SHU (Skoville Heat Unit) scale. Then comes the Jolokia Pepper with a 1,500,000, Then this pepper with a 1,569,000 rating, then you have the Bhut Jolokia Pepper which is 2,000,000 on the SHU Scale.

From what I have read and been told. The Carolina Reaper was around 2.2 million on the Scoville scale. But that was from the original breeder of the pepper in an article. Then there was the Guinness Book of World Records? However, I don't breed or taste test peppers. I just try to give accurate facts from the information I collect. Anyone can Google. But thanks. :-)

And the Bhut Jolokia and the Ghost Pepper are all the same pepper. :-)

your response was hidden for some reason so I don't know what you said. the Guiness book has it listed as the hottest pepper I know. I love hot spicy foods so I took to raising hot peppers. I'm currently working on crossing a hot pepper with a tomato. Here is a hint for hot peppers. When you use them to cook with mix a tablespoon of sour cream to each half teaspoon of peppers. It takes the bite out of the pepper. You can do the same thing for hot salsa too, just use a 1/4 to 3/4 mix. It enhances the flavor of the pepper.
