The hottest pepper in the world, as of my last update, is the Carolina Reaper, which has an average heat level of about 1.6 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) and can peak at over 2.2 million SHU. It was bred by Ed Currie of the PuckerButt Pepper Company in South Carolina. The pepper is known for its fruity flavor combined with intense heat, making it a favorite in spicy food challenges. Other contenders, like the Pepper X, have been claimed to be hotter, but the Carolina Reaper holds the official title recognized by the Guinness World Records.
