The hottest chili pepper resides in South Carolina.
A Pepper X pepper is shown on Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023, in Fort Mill, S.C. The pepper variety is now the hottest pepper in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records The Guinness World Records has named Pepper X as the hottest chili pepper in the world after the Carolina Reaper chili pepper held the distinction for 10 years.
Ed Currie, the South Carolina hot pepper expert who grew the Carolina Reaper, broke his own world record with a pepper that’s three times hotter. Heat in peppers is measured in Scoville Heat Units. Zero is bland, and a regular jalapeno pepper registers about 5,000 units. A habanero, the record-holder about 25 years ago, typically tops 100,000. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the Carolina Reaper at 1.64 million units.
Pepper X’s record is an average of 2.69 million units. By comparison, pepper spray commonly holstered by police is around 1.6 million units. Bear spray advertises at 2.2 million units.Pepper X was publicly named the hottest pepper in the world on Oct. 9. “I was feeling the heat for three-and-a-half hours. Then the cramps came,” Currie told The Associated Press. “Those cramps are horrible. I was laid out flat on a marble wall for approximately an hour in the rain, groaning in pain.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
