Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
During my almost 2-year stay in Mexico, I totally fell in love with hot chili peppers. I used to put fresh Mexican habaneros in every meal and I really grew fond of the spiciness.
Ironically, however, it was after my return to my Czech homeland that I got to taste the hottest peppers in my life so far. I had some Naga Vipers (approximately 1.4 million SHU) before and just a few days ago, I got to taste the legendary Carolina Reaper.
I clicked this photo of "her". Notice the sinister gnarliness :D
With up to 2 million SHU, Carolina Reaper officially was (according to some sources actually still is) the hottest pepper in the world.
The pepper that I got from a friend was grown here in the Czech Republic so it´s probably less spicy than those grown in tropical climates but it was still extremely powerful and I almost passed out after trying just a tiny slice of it :D
Eating these peppers raw is not recommended even to the most enthusiast chili lovers. Cooking them reduces the spiciness significantly but meals containing these extremely hot chili cultivars are still way too hot for most people to eat. But I loved it :)
What was the hottest chili pepper you guys have tried so far? Let me know in the comment section below ;)
