The bhut jolokia chili is considered the hottest chili pepper in the world. In fact, in 2007, it was named as such by the Guinness Book of World Records, knocking off the previous title holder, the Red Savina pepper. The bhut jolokia pepper has Scoville ratings as high as 1,041,427 units. The Scoville scale measures the piquancy of peppers as determined by their capsaicin content. To get an idea of just how hot bhut jolokia peppers are, compare their Scoville rating to that of the popular Tabasco pepper, which only averages between 2,500 – 5,000 Scoville units.
