The Friday File: A jalapeno pepper registers 6,200 Scoville heat units (SHU), a Habanero 350,000 SHU, and a Naga Viper 1.382 million SHU which made it the world’s hottest pepper. The title recently transferred to the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T at 1.464 million SHU only to be quickly passed to the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion at over 2 million SHU, equivalent to pepper spray. I’ll use Tabasco Sauce at 2,200 SHU.
