The Naga Viper is renowned for its historical lore, immense heat, and Chinense flavor profile. Originating from the United Kingdom by grower Gerald Fowler, he crossbred it with several superhot varieties (the Naga Morich, the Trinidad Scorpion, and the Ghost Pepper), making it one of the hottest peppers in the world. For a short period, the Guiness Book of World Records listed the Naga Viper as the hottest in the world.
Chefs and spice enthusiasts love using Naga Viper peppers in various dishes to add a wicked kick. From curries to sauces, this pepper offers a robust flavor that can enhance any meal.
