In 2005, while working at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s Horticulture Department, Primo developed the “7 Pot Primo,"™ arguably (and controversially) the hottest pepper in the world! At an average face-melting 1.79 million Scoville heat units, one 7 Pot Primo™ pepper is about 350 times hotter than a Jalapeño! Over the years, Primo’s pepper creations have gained worldwide notoriety and an international cult following. The 7 Pot Primo is known to be a cross between Naga Morich and Trinidad 7 Pot chili. As a result, the 7 Pot Primo is, of course, seriously hot.
