The Guinness World Record for "hottest chili pepper" has been awarded to Pepper X, which clocks in 2,693,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the publication announced in a press release on Monday, October 16.

Pepper X is a specially crossbred pepper created by Ed Currie, the owner of Puckerbutt Pepper Company in South Carolina. His Carolina Reaper pepper previously held the world record for hottest chili pepper.

The Carolina Reaper came in at "only" an average 1,640,000 million SHU. As the Scoville scale is logarithmic, that means that Pepper X is about three times as spicy as the Carolina Reaper.

People get just plain stupid about hot peppers.
I like hot peppers, but when they are too hot to even taste the pepper itself, why bother.

That said, every year, I plant Anehiems and Habaneros. I plant them in the same conainter and cross pollinate them.
No effect on the Habaneros, but the modified Anehiems are good. I call them "Pissed Off Annies"

Hot for the sake of hot, or misplaced bravado to see if you can 'handle the heat', whatever. If that floats your boat great. I absolutely love hot and spicy, but there's a point where it just becomes "hot" and there's nothing left to taste.

That said, it's fun to watch the aftermath

Think we could get Axxe some for next year's chili?....

Pretty cool with the cross pollination of the peppers.

What do you do with the Anehiems? I bet they’d make an awesome chili reano.

Nope.


I love spicy food. I love it. I love the flavor of chilli peppers. Hot for the sake of hot is garbage.

Yes they do, I also dice them up to put in my morning duck egg scramble with a little unexpected cheddar and Pico on top.

I’ve had Carolina Reaper before, I have a pretty high tolerance for spice but it was hot as hell. I couldn’t imagine having anything spicier
