We have all heard of Smokin’ Ed Currie of the PuckerButt Pepper Company.
The man that attained hot-pepper cult status in 2013, when he premiered the Carolina Reaper, the hottest hot pepper at the time at up to 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
His world record-breaking achievement was surpassed in early 2017 by the Dragon’s Breath, a chili accidentally bred by a competitive Welsh gardener 🏴 trying to breed an attractive plant for the #chelseaflowershow.
Now, Smokin’ Ed is back with what he says beats the taste bud-searing heat of both peppers.
The mythical “Pepper X” took 10 years to develop. It reportedly clocks in at 3.18 million SHU.
(For comparison, the Dragon’s Breath chili lands at 2.48 million SHU and a jalapeño at just 5000 SHU)
#PepperX isn't officially the world's hottest yet—Smokin’ Ed is still waiting in anticipation for verification from the @guinnessworldrecords committee and still remains unconfirmed by as of June 2020.
