Announced by the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds hottest pepper back on August 7th, 2013 and still the champ, this pepper averages at 1,569,300 on the Scoville scale with peak levels of over 2,200,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The Reaper is a cross between a ghost pepper and a red habanero so it’s like popping a tasty hot ember in your mouth. Actually I don’t suggest popping one of these in your mouth, unless you’re a pepper pro… or a lunatic! For those of you with lead lined bellies and no living nerve endings left in your mouth, this hardcore pepper for you.
