#hotpeppers #chillies There’s something equally comical and ominous about the names used to label the world’s hottest peppers. For instance, you’ve got the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the Naga Viper, and perhaps most famous of all, the Bhut Jolokia, aka the Ghost Pepper.
While these are all insanely hot peppers, the current champion when it comes to unconstrained spiciness is none other than the Carolina Reaper. As a point of comparison, consider this: The Scoville scale measures the varying levels of spiciness across different foods, with the hottest Banana pepper having a rating of 900 Scoville heat units (SHU) and the Jalapeno pepper having a potential maximum of 4,000 SHU.
