Breeding the World’s Hottest Pepper

In the competitive world of chilli farming, one man is competing. Meet “Smokin'” Ed Currie. He is the man behind the hottest chili pepper in the world—“Carolina Reaper.” Over the past three decades, Currie has been pushing the limits of the Scoville scale—breeding hotter and hotter peppers. We went behind the scenes at his South Carolina farm, where he's been breeding some secret, unreleased specimens that he claims are even hotter than his famous Reaper. You may want to have some milk on hand for this.
