Capsicum Chinense

The Big Jim pepper just warms, doesn't burn - only nips, never bites! If you enjoy flavour over heat, the Big Jim is perfect - fruity and sweet like a capsicum, with a very mild chilli kick.

The world’s hottest chilli! The Carolina Reaper leaves all other chillies for dead, with the hottest of pods reaching over 2 million SHU. Not for the faint hearted!

A cross between the Fatalii red and Purivian Aji Brown, the Chocolate Fatalii is not nearly as hot as the red or yellow Fataliis but still worth a try!

A heirloom chilli from Africa, this striking yellow chilli packs quite the punch at 300,000 Scoville heat Units with fruity, citrus undertones.

With a name meaning snake or serpent chili, it should come as no surprise that this is a super hot. Related to the former world record holder, the Bhut Jolokia, it measures in at over 1 million SHU.

Between 1994-2006, this was the world's hottest chilli; selectively bred to produce hotter, heavier and larger fruit than the traditional Habanero, the Red Savina measures in at almost 600,000 SHU.
