The title was held for a decade by the Carolina Reaper chili pepper, which was dethroned Monday when Pepper X's record-breaking status was announced.
Laboratory tests performed at Winthrop University in South Carolina in August found that Pepper X ranks at 2.69m Scoville heat units, surpassing the Carolina Reaper chili pepper by over 1m units, as measured by the Scoville scale, the Guardian reported. "When we bred this pepper out, first thing we looked for is something to raise that heat level to what we thought was going to be the maximum, and the second thing was flavor," Currie revealed on the popular YouTube show "Hot Ones," whose creator and host Sean Evans tries chicken wings of varying heat levels with celebrity guests.Based on his past experiences, Currie said he would keep Pepper X's pods and seeds private to protect his intellectual property.
