The Hurtberry is an extreme super-hot chili pepper (Capsicum Chinese) known for its wicked heat and distinctive, spiky berry-like appearance. Origin and Lineage Creator: Developed in the United Kingdom by master grower and enthusiast Graham Lee Warburton. Lineage: A complex, three-way cross initially combining a Carolina Reaper and a Jigsaw pepper, which was later crossed with a Moruga UV. Name Origin: Reportedly named by chili heads who sampled the punishing pod while sharing a few pints at a local U.K. pub. Heat Level & Flavor Profile Scoville Heat Units (SHU): Estimated between 1,200,000 to over 1,600,000+ SHU, placing it firmly in the extreme super-hot category alongside the Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. The Burn: Intense and long-lasting, hitting the entire mouth with a heavy concentration on the tongue and back of the throat. Flavor: Beneath the searing heat, it features distinct fruity undertones.
