Geschichte & Kultur
UK grower Gerald Fowler at the Chilli Pepper Company bred the Naga Viper through repeated backcrossing of Naga Morich, Ghost Pepper, and Trinidad Scorpion. Guinness recognized it as the world’s hottest in 2011, though it has since been surpassed. The pepper’s fame sparked global interest in British-grown superhots and inspired countless challenge products.
