The scale is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. Capsaicin is one of many related chemicals, collectively called capsaicinoids. The Scoville scale is a measurement of the pungency (spicy heat) of chilli peppers such as the jalapeño, the bhut jolokia, and the world's current hottest pepper, the Carolina Reaper, or other spicy foods as reported in Scoville heat units (SHU), a function of capsaicin concentration. The fruits average 4-5cm in diameter maturing from green to a bright scarlet red with a gnarled look and characteristic pointed tail. These are genuine Carolina Reaper Seeds produced in isolated conditions and fresh from the latest harvest. This variety can be difficult to germinate (usually 14-28 days) and require a minimum soil temperature of 28-30C (82-86F), so a heated propagator is required. Great care should be taken when touching these chilli seeds and mature fruit (gloves are recommended) and always wash your hands after coming into contact with them.

The Carolina Reaper pepper was crossed with Jay’s Peach Ghost Scorpion pepper to create the California Reaper, which was originally developed by Steve Bender at Tyler Farms. The Carolina Reaper resembles the 7 Pot Primo pepper. 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. The taste of the Carolina Reaper is described as fruity and sweet, but the intense heat level kicks in shortly after consumption. 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, according to Guinness World Records.
