Details
In February 2007, the Red Savina chili was displaced in Guinness World Records as the hottest chili in the world by the Naga Jolokia pepper (Ghost Pepper). The Red Savina held the record from 1994 until 2006. Red Savina peppers are said to a score up to 577,000 on the Scoville scale, with the average heat level being around 250,000 SHU. The Red Savina Habanero is a legend among pepper growers for its flavor and of course extreme heat. Behind the heat, it has a sweet, almost fruity flavor. Non-Isolated.
SHU: 250,000-577,000
