• Record Breaking: The Carolina Reaper, previously regarded as the spiciest chili in the world, has been officially ousted by Pepper X, the newest fiery sensation. The Reaper, who had held the record since 2013, was dethroned by this fiery newcomer.

• Scoville Heat Units (SHU) are used to measure the spiciness of chili. The Carolina Reaper typically produces 1.64 million SHU, but Pepper X ups the ante with a mind-boggling 2,693,000 SHU. Those spices have some major power!

• Meet Ed Currie, the brains of Pepper X, the grower behind the heat. He has experience playing the spice game; in fact, he also invented the Carolina Reaper. Based in South Carolina, USA, Currie developed Pepper X over the course of ten years by breeding it with some of his spiciest peppers to increase its capsaicin level.

• After a decade of labor, Currie succeeded in creating Pepper X, a pepper that can ignite your taste receptors. On an episode of the well-liked YouTube series "Hot Ones," this hot marvel was unveiled to the world.

• Cracking the Spicy Codes

• The Connection Between Capsaicin: Ever wonder why chilies are so hot? Capsaicin, the substance that gives chilies their distinctive burn, is entirely responsible. Contrary to popular assumption, capsaicin does not exist in the seeds themselves but rather in the placenta, the tissue that houses the seeds. With its distinctive exterior's curves and ridges, Pepper X has plenty of room for the placenta to develop, upping the spice content

• Busting the Myth: Dispelling a widespread misunderstanding, the Guinness World Records website explains that chilies are not hot because of their seeds, but rather because of the placenta, which contains capsaicin. The shape of Pepper X emphasizes this hot quality, making it unique among spices.

So there you have it: Pepper X, the king of spices, breaking heat records and leaving chili lovers hankering for more. This fiery surprise is certain to fire your taste senses and spice up your culinary explorations, whether you're a spice connoisseur or just curious! 🔥🌶️
