Peter Pepper

This unique chili is best known for its phallic shape and brings a whole new meaning to the term "food porn"!

It is believed that this pepper originated somewhere from the northern parts of Mexico, to the Southern parts of the USA (namely Texas and Louisiana).

It is rated 10,000 to 23,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Habaneros

The habanero pepper was listed as "the world's hottest chili pepper" by the Guinness World Records in 1999. They date back to approximately 8500 years ago and are believed to have originated in the Amazon basin before being spread throughout the Americas and parts of Europe by explorers and merchants. This vibrant pepper is a staple in Central and South American cuisines, and are prized for their distinct fruity and tropical flavor.

It is rated 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Scotch Bonnets

Named for its resemblance to a Scottish tam o'shanter hat, the Scotch Bonnet pepper is a staple of Caribbean cuisine, especially in Jamaica. This chili is known for its initial sweet taste, but is quickly followed by a spicy lingering heat. It lends its distinctive flavor and fire to hot sauces, pickles and the iconic jerk seasoning.

It is rated 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Fatali

This chili originated in Central Africa and is a close relative of the habanero and an ancestor to the naga peppers. Its sweet, citrusy flavor and slow-building heat makes it an excellent choice for citrus-based hot sauces, and pairs well with fish, chicken and veal in particular.

It is rated 125,000 to 400,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Carolina Reaper

Developed by chili breeder Ed Currie in South Carolina, this pepper currently holds the title of the second hottest in the world. It once reigned as the Guinness World Record holder for the hottest pepper from 2013 to 2023. This fiery cultivar is a hybrid of habanero and naga viper peppers and has cinnamon and chocolate undertones.
