🦍 Encona Carolina Reaper Scoville Scale
The Reaper has been measured at more than two million Scoville heat units, the accepted scale for how hot peppers are. Measurements vary, but a really hot habanero might come in at 500,000
The Scoville Heat Ranking of 20 Different Types of Common Peppers. Pepper X: Scoville rating of 3,180,000; Carolina Reaper: Scoville rating of 1,400,000-2,200,000; Ghost Pepper: Scoville rating of 800,000-1,041,427; Habanero: Scoville rating of 100,000-350,000; Scotch Bonnet: Scoville rating of 100,000-350,000
It has no known SHU value but, on a scale of naught to the hottest Reaper sauce that I've had, I'd say it's a 4.5/10. Hotter than most supermarket sauces but not on par with even, say, the best of Ghost stuff. If I had to estimate an SHU, I'd say about 75K but that's just a rough estimate.
