About Pepper X
Pepper X is a brand inspired by the world's hottest chili pepper, created by legendary pepper breeder "Smokin'" Ed Currie. The Pepper X chili measures a scorching 2.693 million Scoville Heat Units, officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the hottest pepper on Earth - surpassing Currie's previous creation, the Carolina Reaper. The Pepper X brand brings this extreme heat legacy to ready meals and snacks available in UK supermarkets. From Smokin' Ed's Pepper X Chicken Vindaloo and Korma with Rice to Spicy Pepperoni Slices, these products offer convenient ways to experience intense heat in everyday meals without the complexity of sourcing and cooking with rare super-hot peppers. Ed Currie developed Pepper X over 10 years of careful cross-breeding at his PuckerButt Pepper Company greenhouse in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Unlike the Carolina Reaper, Pepper X pods and seeds are not commercially available - making branded products one of the few ways to experience this legendary pepper's heat. Available at UK retailers including Iceland, Pepper X products cater to heat-seekers who want to challenge their spice tolerance with authentic Pepper X heat. Whether you're training for Hot Ones-level spice or simply enjoy pushing your boundaries, these products deliver genuine extreme heat backed by the world record-holding pepper's reputation.
