what hottest pepper
Ok, but What is The Hottest Pepper in the World? The hottest pepper in the world is the Carolina Reaper, which has been ranked at up to 2.2 million SHU, barely edging out the long-reigning pepper champion, the Ghost Pepper.We wouldn't necessarily recommend cooking with the Carolina Reaper unless you're a very experienced spice-fanatic.
Hottest chili. Share. The hottest chilli is Smokin Ed's 'Carolina Reaper', grown by The PuckerButt Pepper Company (USA), which rates at an average of 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), according to tests conducted by Winthrop University in South Carolina, USA, throughout 2012.
