Naga Viper
Heat Exceptionally hot
Scoville scale1,382,118 SHU

The Naga Viper pepper is one of the hottest chili peppers ever measured. It was briefly the "World's Hottest Chilli" in 2011 according to the Guinness World Records[1] with a rating of 1,382,118 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), a figure that surpassed the reading of the Infinity Chilli.[2]

Origin

The Naga Viper was created in England by chilli farmer Gerald Fowler of The Chilli Pepper Company in Cark, Cumbria.[3][4] It is claimed to be an unstable three-way hybrid produced from the Naga Morich, the Bhut Jolokia and the Trinidad Scorpion (some of the world's hottest peppers).[5] Due to its hybrid nature it is unable to produce offspring exactly like the parent due to segregation of alleles, and therefore traits.
