The Naga Viper pepper is a hot chili pepper developed in England. In 2011, it was recorded as the "World's Hottest Chili" by the Guinness World Records with a rating of 1,382,118 Scoville heat units (SHU), [ 1 ] but was surpassed in SHU by the Carolina Reaper , in 2017, and again by the latest world record holder Pepper X in 2023.
