Top 10 hottest chili peppers in the world

Chili is an indispensable spice in preparing dishes and there are many types of chili, so whether people like more or less spicy food, they can choose chili peppers with moderate spiciness. To measure heat, the researchers measured capsaicin. This is a chemical compound that creates a spicy sensation in the mouth. Scoville Heat Units (SHU) measuring unit.

1. Carolina Reaper

Ranked first is the American Carolina Reaper chili, which is a hybrid chili species. Their spicy taste is not moderate. It has an attack power equivalent to a specialized police pepper spray. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, up to now, Mr. Ed Currie's Carolina Reaper chili variety is the spiciest on earth.


On the Scoville scale of spiciness, Carolina Reaper peppers have an average spiciness of 1,569,300 units, including some with a spiciness of up to 2.2 million. Meanwhile, the spiciness of a specialized tear gas gun is 2 million Scoville units. The "danger" level of the Carolina Reaper was researched by a group of students at Winthrop University as part of their study program. Scientists calculate spiciness by separating capsaicinoids from chili peppers, then using solution chromatography to check the exact mass of the compounds. The results will then be converted to the Scoville scale based on an available formula.

8. Infinity

Most of the world's hottest chili peppers remaining on the list are bred by human hands. Infinity Chilli is a product of British scientists. This chili variety was once ranked highest in the list of the hottest chili peppers in the world.

Although it has less spiciness than Naga Viper, it still makes many people shy and scared. The chili is named Infinity (endless) because the spicy taste never goes away, even the best anti-spicy agent, milk, cannot solve it. Infinity pushed the now famous spicy Bhut Jolokia pepper (used to make riot control grenades in India) to second place.
