Hot pepper "Carolina Reaper" : 2 000 000 SHU
Hot pepper "Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Red" - extremely hot !
One of the hottest peppers in the world!
A late-ripening variety of extremely hot pepper with great growth vigor.
On November 19, 2013, it was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the hottest pepper in the world, pushing the previous record holder for hotness, the "Trinidad Moruga Scorpio" pepper, into second place.
It was created by crossing the "Bhut Jolokia" pepper (until 2007 the hottest pepper in the world) and the red "Habanero" pepper.
The fruits are irregularly shaped, very wrinkled, 6 to 8 cm long and 3 to 4 cm wide. At botanical maturity, they are blood red in color.
Possible to grow in containers.
If you still decide to take a bite of this pepper, then in the first minutes you will think that it is not spicy at all. However, after just a few minutes, the degree of burning sensation will begin to rapidly increase, and there will be a feeling that the tongue, throat and esophagus are on fire: blood pressure rises, the face turns red, and the eyes begin to water heavily...
In addition to such a “terrible” pungency, this pepper is notable for its fruity aroma, thanks to which its fruits, added to food in very small quantities, give the dish a piquant and pleasant taste.
Spicy on the Scoville scale is 2,000,000 SHU (that is, to completely neutralize the hotness effect of 1 gram of this “pepper” you will need 2000 liters of a water-alcohol mixture).
