The Guinness World Record for "hottest chili pepper" has been awarded to Pepper X, which clocks in 2,693,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the publication announced in a press release on Monday, October 16.

Pepper X is a specially crossbred pepper created by Ed Currie, the owner of Puckerbutt Pepper Company in South Carolina. His Carolina Reaper pepper previously held the world record for hottest chili pepper.

The Carolina Reaper came in at "only" an average 1,640,000 million SHU. As the Scoville scale is logarithmic, that means that Pepper X is about three times as spicy as the Carolina Reaper.

Comparatively, a poblano pepper is about 1,000 SHU, while a jalapeño pepper averages 5,000 SHU.

A habanero pepper, one of the spiciest non-hybrid peppers, is about 100,000 SHU.

New Guinness World Record spiciest pepper, 'Pepper X,' is three times as spicy as Carolina Reaper

Which one of you gardeners helped create the monster?

Pepper X is a crossbreed of the Carolina Reaper and a "pepper that a friend of mine sent me from Michigan that was brutally hot," Currie told the Associated Press.

It’s odd to me how so many people conflate spices (flavor) with heat. Heat isn’t a flavor. If someone wants to know if a food is going to set their tongue and stomach on fire, they should ask how hot it is, not how spicey it is. I’m good cooking with jalapeños and poblanos, but anything hotter than that isn’t enjoyable for me. That’s what I get for having a mom who cooked bland meals all the time when I was a kid. lol
