They used to talk about the Red Savina Habanero being the hottest pepper...it's about five to six-hundred thousand, on the Scoville Scale.
(For comparison: a Jalapeno is about three-thousand)
Along came the Bhut-Jolokia (Or, The Ghost!). This was the first pepper to reach one-million on the Scoville Scale.
The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion was the first to reach two-million...
...And the mighty Carolina Reaper is currently the "Mac-Daddy" of heat, at two point two million! :bowdown:
Something else will soon eclipse it; I'm sure of that! nojoke
Here's the current list of the ten hottest peppers:
