The hottest jalapeño recorded is the "Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion," which is a hybrid that can reach up to 1,463,700 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). While traditional jalapeños typically range from 2,500 to 8,000 SHU, this particular variety was bred to significantly exceed those levels. It is important to note that this pepper is not a true jalapeño but rather a hybrid that has jalapeño traits.
