In the last half-century or so, there has been considerable interest in the quest to create the spiciest chili peppers possible. The process is quite similar to breeding animals like dogs or horses – the plants just require more care and attention.

The Origin and History of Carolina Reaper A tabasco pepper is between 30,000 to 50,000 SHUs, and even the mighty habanero is far behind at 100,000 to 250,000 SHUs. To put things in perspective, the humble jalapeño pepper has a heat level that is somewhere between 2,000 and 7,000 SHUs. The maximum recorded heat level ever for the Reaper is around 2.2 million SHUs. The heat level of chili peppers is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) and the Carolina Reaper has been measured to have an average heat level of 1.4 million SHUs. It is a hybrid chili pepper that was created after crossbreeding some of the hottest peppers from around the globe.
