![]() ![]() S cientists can determine how many parts per million of heat-causing alkaloids are present in a chile pepper and multiply that number by 16 to get the chile pepper's Scoville Rating. Today another method is used high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The amount of dilution translates to the Scoville Scale. In 1912, Wilbur Scoville devised a method to rate the heat in a chile pepper diluting an alcohol based extract until human tasters no longer taste the heat.

The Carolina Reaper starts off green and ripens to red, reaching about 1.5 to 2 inches in total length. Like Trinidad Scorpionvarieties, the Carolina Reaper has a scorpion-like tail. The pepper was originally developed by Ed Currie, who crossed a Red Habanero with a Ghost pepper. There’s a lot more flavor to the Carolina Reaper than most extremely hot peppers. Oddly enough this pepper has excellent flavor as well. The taste of the Carolina Reaper is described as fruity and sweet, but the intense heat level kicks in shortly after consumption. The Reaper was developed specifically for heat and that it is. To put it in perspective, the Carolina Reaper is about 175 times hotter than the hottest Jalapeno. In November 2013, the Guinness Book of World Records named the Carolina Reaper as the new hottest pepper in the world, replacing the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. The Carolina Reaper pepper averages 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) and some peppers have been tested over 2,200,000 SHU, which is hotter than typical pepper spray. The Carolina Reaper is currently the hottest pepper in the world that can be grown by the general public, according to Guinness World Records. ![]()
