Dang... I never heard of Ghost Peppers!?!
In 2005, at New Mexico State University Chile Pepper Institute near Las Cruces, New Mexico, regents Professor Paul Bosland found bhut jolokia grown from seed in southern New Mexico to have a Scoville rating of 1,001,304 SHU by HPLC.
In 2007, Guinness World Records certified the Bhut Jolokia as the world's hottest chili pepper, 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce.
In February 2007, Guinness World Records published that the bhut jolokia was the hottest chili pepper ever submitted for judgment.
