Taste: The chili pepper that makes your head explode

Are you a fan of spicy food? Do you like to sweat when you eat? If you do, try the Carolina Reaper, the world's hottest pepper.

Cultivated by Ed Currie, founder and president of the PuckerButt Pepper Company in South Carolina, this pepper would probably ruin most people's day after eating it! Maybe there's a reason why his company is called PuckerButt!

Currently rated as “the world's hottest chili pepper” by Guinness World Records, the pepper averages 1,569,300 on the Scoville Heat Unit scale, with peak levels of over 2,200,000. In comparison, a regular jalapeno pepper comes in at around 8,000 units.

With the Carolina Reaper recently beating the Trinidad Maruva Scorpion as the hottest pepper out there and with hot sauce such a booming industry, you can bet there are cultivators working around the clock to produce an an even hotter pepper!

Proceed with caution and make sure there is a restroom nearby when eating!
