Did you ever heard or know which is the Top 10 Hottest Peppers in the World?

Top Ten Hottest Peppers In The World 2016

SHU = Scoville Heat Unit (A measure of Spiciness) All seed packs include 10+ Seeds

1. Carolina Reaper  2,200,000 SHU

The Carolina Reaper is officially the Worlds Hottest Pepper as ranked by Guinness Records. There is nothing normal about this pepper. It was bred for heat and that it is with an average SHU of over 1.5 million and peaks at 2.2 Million SHU! Just looking at it, you know its one mean pepper. It gets this insane heat from being a cross between a Pakastani Naga and a Red Habanero. Oddly enough this pepper doesn’t just have heat, but excellent flavor as well. 

2. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion  2,009,231 SHU

Straight from the depths of hell, Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend, AKA Moruga Scorpion, is a rare sought after pepper that was only just recently discovered. Native to the lands of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago. Once you take a bite of this formidable pepper the heat never stops building. 

3. 7 Pot Douglah  1,853,936 SHU

Well renown in the pepper community as one of the hottest peppers with the best flavor. You can’t go wrong with fresh, dried, or powdered Douglah on any food. Also known as 7 Pod Douglah, Chocolate 7 Pod or the 7 Pot Brown.

4. 7 Pot Primo  1,469,000 SHU

The 7 Pot Primo is very distinctive with its long skinny “tail”. Created by horticulturist, Troy Primeaux, and some recent peppers cultivators have tried to replicate this look because the tail is just terrifying. When you just look at this pepper, you know it’s going to be INSANELY hot. 

5. Trinidad Scorpion “Butch T”  1,463,700 SHU

Previous Guiness World Record (2011) holder from Australia. No doubt it’s insanely hot, but other peppers have been proven to be hotter. It’s aptly named due to the scorpion stinger found at the tip of the pepper and also the creator, Butch Taylor.

6. Naga Viper   1,349,000 SHU

Extremely rare pepper cultivated in the UK. Combination of many different peppers and years of cross pollination created this variety of “Super HOT” pepper. It was never fully stabilized before being released so pod variation is expected. 

7. Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper)   1,041,427 SHU

The most famous “Super Hot” due to the amount of press it has received in the past. It exploded in popularity on YouTube and other social sites where pepper heads ate whole Ghost Peppers as a challenge.

This is the first pepper to scientifically test over 1 million scovilles. Many mistakenly still believe it is the World’s Hottest. As you can see, it is far from it. Don’t be fooled by how low this is on the list as it can still bring a grown man to his knees.

8. 7 Pot Barrackpore  ~1,000,000 SHU

The 7 Pot Barrackpore is one of the hottest of the 7 Pot peppers. This one is from the Town of Chaguanas in Trinidad and Tobago. Many of these “super hots” come from this region. 

9. 7 Pot Red (Giant)   ~1,000,000 SHU

The 7 pots were named after their ability to heat up 7 pots of stew and that it does! (other varieties include Jonah and Yellow). 

10. Red Savina Habanero    500,000 SHU

Back in the early years of super hots, the Red Savina Habanero was KING! He has since been dethroned and many peppers have passed him in heat. The Red Savina just barely makes the Top 10, but does so in fashion with its great flavor and extreme heat. 

That all folks! Try any one in your life than you will know...what we mean Hot!!
