What is the hottest pepper in the world?
For many years it was difficult to determine which was the hottest pepper in the world. For a long time it was the Habanero pepper, which is grown in Central America, the Caribbean and South America. To be more precise, it was the habanero red savina pepper, which is one of the varieties of habanero pepper measuring over 500,000 units on the Scoville scale.
Naga Jolokia the hottest pepper in the world then Carolina Reaper
Since 2006, the Guinness Book of Records has determined that the naga jolokia pepper is the hottest in the world. The naga jolokia pepper is a pepper harvested in India, with a strength of 1 million Scoville units (tabasco 6000), this pepper is reserved for great lovers of very hot peppers. The hottest pepper in the world originates from the North East of India, from a region called Assam, but it is also found in other Indian states such as Nagaland and Manipur and as far as Bangladesh. The hottest pepper in the world is 2 times hotter than habanero red savina. In 2009, a 26-year-old Indian woman ate 51 bhut jolokia peppers (the hottest in the world) in 2 minutes.
