Description

Discover the intense heat and unmistakable flavor of the Carolina Reaper. The Carolina Reaper dominated the super hot world for more than a decade as the number one hottest chili pepper in the world, until Pepper X took its place as the hottest chili pepper in the world in 2023. The Reaper was cultivated by the American grower Ed Currie. The same grower also developed the Pepper X, which has now been officially declared the hottest chili pepper in the world by Guinness World Records.

Despite this shift, the Carolina Reaper remains a powerful super spicy pepper, loved for its enormous heat and fruity aromas. It gives an intense sensation that challenges even the most experienced chili pepper lovers. But don't be fooled by its spiciness – behind the burning heat lies a subtle fruitiness that stimulates the taste buds and adds a layering to dishes. From hot sauces to rubs and marinades, this iconic pepper is a favorite ingredient for those looking for an intense taste experience.

Warning: Be careful when preparing and handling this extremely hot chili pepper! It is recommended to wear gloves when cutting the chilies and use them with care to avoid skin irritation and discomfort. Do you dare to take on the challenge?

    super hot pepper! ordered and ate a few of these peppers last year, and boy was that hot! ordered again now to use at school for an open day to hand out small samples at biology.

  2. Winny

    Delicious sambal terasi goreng made with these Carolina Reapers, Ghost peppers and Spanish peppers as Christmas gifts for the family! Everything is always sent neatly and quickly. The peppers are easy to freeze.

    Deliciously fruity but extremely hot pepper. Wonderfully fresh and delivered quickly. Top quality product that I have already experienced a lot of hot enjoyment from. Compliments to Westlandpeppers!

    As usual, well packaged and shipped quickly.
    Nice fresh sharp peppers that I have been ordering for years with good experiences.

  5. Olaru Razvan

    They arrived without any damage, some of them wore a few days past they’re ripe optimal but all looked fine. The heat from these peppers is extreme, really hard to breathe in the same room you cut them, take caution.
    Will order again.
