Top 7 Hottest Chillies In The World
Nothing like a red hot chilli pepper to add that spice to your favourite recipes and transform them into finger licking delights! But did you know that there is a scale used to measure the hotness of chillies, the Scoville scale, which is used to determine the hottest chillies in the world? Here’s a list of the world’s top 10 hottest chillies with their known Scoville units:
1.Carolina Reaper – With 2.2 million units on the Scoville scale, the Carolina Reaper from the state of Carolina in America is officially the world’s hottest chilli pepper, declared so by the Guinness Book of World Records.
2.Trinidad Moruga Scorpion – A much recently discovered chilli pepper from the Caribbean islands, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion scores as many as 2 million units on the Scoville scale.
3.7 potDouglah – Known for its intense flavour, the 7 pot Douglah is also distinct for its brown colour and its fiery heat with 1.8 million Scoville units, which makes it an oddity in the list of superhot chilli peppers which is dominated by red chillies. Several hot sauce brands have attempted to harness its heat and flavour in a chilli sauce that will delight the taste buds.
4.7 pot Primo – This particular hot chilli was created by the horticulturist Tony Primeaux, and features as many as 1.4 million Scoville units. Its long skinny tail is what distinguishes it from other chilli peppers.
5.Trinidad Scorpion Butch 1 – Named after the scorpion sting-like tail at its end, the Trinidad Scorpion was the world’s hottest chilli pepper in 2011 from Australia and hits 1.4 million Scoville units.
6.Naga Viper – Despite its name, the Naga Viper was actually cultivated in the UK and is a cross between the Bhut Jolokia and the Trinidad Moruga. With 1.38 million Scoville units, it was briefly the world’s hottest chilli in 2011.
7.Bhut Jolokia – India’s very own native Bhut Jolokia pepper makes it to the list at no.7 but in 2007, it was the hottest chilli pepper in the world in 2007 and is the first chilli pepper to score over 1 million units on the Scoville scale.
You too can sample the heat and fieriness and intense flavour of one of the hottest chilli peppers in the world with East by North East’s bhut jolokia sauce that is made from the bhut jolokia chilli peppers.
