As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the hottest chili pepper in the world is the Carolina Reaper. It was created by crossing a Ghost pepper (Bhut jolokia) with a Red Habanero. The Carolina Reaper was awarded the title of the world's hottest chili pepper by the Guinness World Records in 2013. Its average Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating, which measures the spiciness of chili peppers, is over 1.5 million SHU, with some individual peppers reaching over 2 million SHU. However, please note that the development of new chili pepper varieties is an ongoing process, and there may be new contenders for the title since my knowledge cutoff.#SpicySensation#HeatwavePepper#FlamingHotDelight #ScorchingSpices#FireInMyMouth#CapsaicinCraze#PepperPower #TongueTorching#ChiliHeat#PepperFeve
