We probably can't even imagine how hellishly, unbearably fiery the chili that now leads the rankings truly is.
The Carolina Reaper, originally known as HP22B, belongs to the Capsicum chinense family. In 2013, it was a Guinness record holder for the hottest chili peppers.
Recommended for enthusiasts of extreme heat, who are regular chili consumers and adore strong chili products.
Its flavor profile is fruity at first bite, followed by gradually intensifying heat—as if you were chewing on burning embers.
Its spiciness is provided by the compound capsaicin, measured on the Scoville scale. According to the official Guinness World Record entry, measurements from Winthrop University in 2013 showed the hottest specimen at nearly 2,200,000 SHU on the scale.
