Wrong..... Carolina Reaper.
Correct !
Carolina Reaper is hotter, and is known as hottest current pepper !
Hotness is measured in 'scoville units' ( of heat), and the Carolina Reaper is the hottest !(over 2 million scoville units).
I can handle up to habanero hot—above that its a stay away from the super hots for me. There are aficionado groups who thrive on the hobby of growing the superhots. I love hot peppers but if they overpower the food with intense heat then whats the point?
Carolina Reaper? Meh. Many say (Fatalii Gourmet) Jigsaw will be the new champion as soon as testing is complete. Do NOT confuse with ornamental pepper also named Jigsaw. I grew these last year, and I have a few dozen Jigsaw plants growing this year. Hot? You bet’cha!
