第二名：Dragon's Breath（龙息）
Developed by Mike Smith, a farmer and researcher at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, its spiciness was measured at 2.48 million SHU, and it is said that after eating this pepper, it feels like inhaling a mouthful of dragon heat, hence the name "dragon's breath".
第三名：“Carolina Reaper，卡罗来纳死神
And the world's hottest pepper from the same hand, a super pepper cultivated in South Carolina, its average spiciness reached 1,569,300 SHU (that is, the Scowell spiciness unit), the peak is 2,200,000 SHU, which is 100 to 500 times the hotness of ordinary peppers, and is comparable to the spiciness of civilian pepper spray (generally 2 million SHU).
第四名：Trinidad Scorpion，特立尼达蝎辣椒
Originating in Trinidad and Tobago and cultivated on the small island of Trinidad and Tobago by Australian pepper farmer Neil Smith, in 2007, Trinidad Scorpion Pepper was officially certified as one of the hottest peppers in the world.
第五名:7 Pot Douglah,七锅杜格拉
Native to the island of Trinidad, the spicinessness can reach 1.85 million SHU, only the oil of the pepper skin will cause a strong burning feeling, the spicinessness is very high, and it is generally not recommended for ordinary people to eat directly.
6th place: Dorsetnaga pepper, UK
Recognized as "the hottest red pepper in the world" by the American Spice Trade Association, the growers had to wear gloves when peeling the pepper to sow the seeds, and their bodies had to be in an upwind position so that their eyes would not be stung, and anyone who ate a whole pepper would be hospitalized.
7th place: Naga Viper Chili
Born from the cross-breeding of three of the hottest chili peppers known to mankind at the time, it was incredibly hot, and was once rated as the hottest chili pepper in the world and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records, and was once ranked as the third hottest chili pepper in the world.
Eighth place: Seven pots of excellent peppers
Seven Pot Excellence is one of the well-known varieties of the Seven Pot series, with a spiciness of about 1.47 million SHU, which belongs to one of the more spicy pepper varieties, and due to its very high spiciness, it is usually used to refine chili oil, rather than being eaten directly.
9th place: British Komodo dragon pepper
Developed in Brenham, England, it resembles the Carolina Reaper, with a bright red appearance, and is named after the shape and color of its pepper fruit that resembles the belly of a Komodo dragon, and is said to have a sweet and fruity flavor after the mouth, but after 10 seconds, it looks like a dragon breathing in its mouth, hence the name.
第十名:印度魔鬼椒(Bhut chilli)
Mainly produced in the northeastern state of Assam, India, it has a spiciness of up to 1.04 million SHU, almost twice that of Mexican Havana red peppers, and is said to scare the devil away, hence the name, which was confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the hottest pepper in the world in 2007.
