![]() He places the heat level of the Apollo pepper at 2,500,000-3,000,000 SHUs. The pepper was developed as an anesthetic for patients with allergies to conventional anesthetics.Įd Currie has also released the Apollo pepper, which he arrived at by cross-breeding the Carolina reaper and Pepper X peppers. In 2017, the UK-developed Dragon’s Breath pepper unofficially dethroned the Carolina reaper with a heat score of up to 2,480,000 units. If it’s finally confirmed officially as the world’s hottest pepper, Pepper X will have dethroned the current holder of the title, the Carolina reaper, at 1,400,000-2,200,000 SHUs on the Scoville Scale. Ed Currie submitted it as the hottest at 3,180,000 Scoville Heat Units, but the Guinness World Records is yet to confirm it as such as of 2022. Pepper X is unofficially the hottest pepper in the world. The flavor of the whole pepper itself has yet to be documented in the public domain since the chili pepper isn’t available in that form. What Does Pepper X Taste Like?Īccording to Ed Currie and the Heatonist website, Pepper X has a sweet, fruity, smoky, and earthy taste. Pepper X peppers have bumpy and pimply skin. They have a bulbous profile and often end in a stinger or scorpion-like tail. Pepper X pods look much like Carolina reaper peppers.

ColorĪlthough there aren’t many images of Pepper X, the few available show the pepper with a yellowish-green or yellowish-orange (peach) color. He suggests that pepper enthusiasts may even help name the hot pepper when it finally gets approved by the Guinness World Records as the hottest pepper on Earth. He is the founder and president of the Puckerbutt Pepper Company.Īccording to Currie, the name ‘Pepper X’ is temporary. Mad-scientist pepperhead Smokin’ Ed Currie has been in the spotlight deservedly as the maker of the Carolina reaper pepper, which still retains its seat as the hottest pepper in the world. Pepper X is one of the hottest peppers on the planet and was created in the US by Smokin’ Ed Currie, the same creator of the official world’s hottest pepper-the Carolina reaper-and the superhot Apollo pepper.Įd Currie announced and submitted the new pepper of the Capsicum chinense species to the Guinness World Records for testing in 2017 after almost a decade of several cross-breedings. ![]()
