Dorset Naga
923,000+ SHU

The chilli that began the modern British obsession. First cultivated by Joy and Michael Michaud at Sea Spring Farm, Dorset, it was named the hottest chilli in the world in 2006. Adrian Sherratt for the Guardian

Seven-Pot Habanero
1,100,000 SHU

Originally from the Caribbean, it is called the Seven Pot because each little pod can add fire to seven family-size pots of stew. Adrian Sherratt for the Guardian

Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
1,200,000+ SHU

Another record hot chilli, the Moruga Scorpion (Capiscum chinense) is from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. Adrian Sherratt for the Guardian

Naga Viper
1,382,118 SHU

Briefly the world’s hottest chilli in 2011, the Viper is a hybrid of other super-hots, including the Bhut Jolokia and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. Adrian Sherratt for the Guardian

Carolina Reaper
1,569,300 SHU

While agreeing with www.theguardian.com/ that the Carolina Reaper is the hottest chili to date, www.crazyhotseeds.com rates it at 2,200,000 SHU. Of course, runners-up have equally high ratings (like the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, rated at 2,009,231 SHU).
