Methodology

To find the hottest hot sauces on the face of the earth, we searched hot sauce shops and wholesalers, then looked at how spicy each bottle was in Scoville units, the standard unit for spiciness. A jalapeño, for example, ranges from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units, and habaneros generally range from 100,000 to 350,000. The following list highlights products made from peppers at least 125 times hotter than a jalapeño, ranked from hot to hottest.

For those who are fans of fiery food, hot sauce is an indispensable condiment, and we found the world’s spiciest ones.
