World's Hottest Pepper

Do you enjoy eating hot peppers and spicy foods?

Still, you should probably avoid the Carolina Reaper.

Ed Currie owns a chili pepper company in the United States.

In 2005, he began making hot peppers with more capsaicin.

This compound is good for your health.

But capsaicin also makes peppers hot and spicy.

In 2013, Currie introduced the Carolina Reaper.

The pepper is red and small.

It also has a large amount of capsaicin.

According to Guinness World Records, the Carolina Reaper is the world's hottest pepper.

In fact, it is 150 times hotter than the Korean hot pepper.

These days, people eat the Carolina Reaper for fun.

They try to eat it during offline contests and online challenges.

Most of the time, people end up in pain and tears.

Some people even went to the hospital because of the world's hottest pepper.
