The Carolina Reaper clocks in at around 2.2 million units on the Scoville scale, which measures the spiciness of chilli peppers – that's about ten times the heat of a Scotch bonnet.

Ed talked us through how he came to produce the world's hottest peppers, the role that chillis have played in his recovery from addiction, and his plans for an even spicier future. And, of course, we couldn't leave without trying a Reaper for ourselves...
