Carolina Reaper Peppers

Currently the hottest commercially grown pepper in the world, the Carolina Reaper is a cross between the ghost pepper and the red habanero. The Reaper has bumpy skin with a signature "stinger" at the bottom.

Oh yes, this little hot pepper beats out Trinidad scorpion and ghost peppers on the heat scale. The official Guinness World Record heat level is 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units––that is 100 times hotter than a jalapeno!
