A new hybrid chili pepper looks to take the world record for the hottest pepper. It's been grown in England, of all places, and is called the Dorset Naga.
A British couple has grown what they claim to be the hottest variety of chili pepper in the world. Dubbed the Dorset Naga, the pepper has apparently tested at between 876,000 and 970,000 Scoville heat units, according to The Telegraph. For comparison, common habanero peppers clock in at about 200,000-300,000 SHUs and jalapeños are in the low thousands.
Yikes! That'll add some spice to your kidney pie. For more info, check out the pepper's home page.
