I love eating hot chili peppers and, specifically, hot sauces. The capsaicin in the pepper plant makes a chili pepper hot and is also used in pepper spray. The heat is measured in SHU or Scoville Heat Units. This is how you can compare and distinguish the heat level of superhot peppers.
Some institutions, such as the Chile Pepper Institute, are entirely devoted to studying and measuring capsaicin.
A lot of people think the hottest part of chili is the seeds. But this is not true. It is the tissue or placenta (vesicles) around the seeds and other parts of the chili that contains the hotness.
In addition, the chili peppers are not hot themselves. It is a chemical reaction that takes place when tasting hot chilis.
Let’s have a look at the hottest peppers list ranked by Scoville:
