Ed Currie, a renowned pepper farmer, has introduced a new pepper breed that surpasses even his famous Pepper X in heat. However, he mentions that his true motivation lies in creating peppers that also have great taste, not merely to set records. The cultivation process spans 8-10 years and involves complex crossbreeding techniques, all while ensuring the confidentiality of growing locations due to security concerns from theft and wildlife threats. Currie's pepper breeding methods are innovative, utilizing careful pollen transfer procedures.
Creating the hottest pepper takes eight to ten years, focusing on flavor as much as heat. The process includes meticulous cross-pollination methods and secretive growing locations.
Ed Currie emphasizes he isn’t after records but rather the challenge of developing peppers that are both exceptionally hot and flavorful, keeping his projects closely guarded.
