PuckerButt Pepper Company, based in Fort Mill, SC produces the Carolina Reaper. The Carolina Reaper has held the record of World's Hottest Pepper since 2013. Not for the faint of heart, the Carolina Reaper measures 1,569,300 on the Scoville Heat Scale, 300 times hotter than a jalapeno.

"This is truly an amazing feat," say Smokin' Ed Currie, Founder, President, Mad Scientist & Chef of PuckerButt Pepper Company. "The Carolina Reaper is bred for heat (and taste). Eating even one Carolina Reaper pepper challenges the most daring of Pepperheads."

Greg knows a bit about peppers. A resident of Irvine, CA, he grows fresh peppers for a living.
