Naga Viper: 1,382,118 SHU Briefly the worldâs hottest chilli in 2011, the Viper is a hybrid of other super-hots, including the Bhut Jolokia and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. Carolina Reaper: 1,569,300 SHU As a rule, the hottest chillies are the ugliest, and the Carolina Reaper is one ugly so-and-so. Five hundred times hotter than Tabasco, if your mouth can do the maths.

Chile Peppers Scoville Scale. This is a highlight of some of the most common and favorite chiles in the world. Each pepper is listed in order of Scoville Heat Units or SHU's (with the hottest chiles on top). The higher up on the Scoville Heat Scale the pepper is the hotter it is. The Scoville rating is listed after each pepper. Just click on a pepper to find out more about each one, its origin and its uses in the world of cooking.
