Description

The dried Carolina Reaper is the second hottest pepper in the world. For more than a decade, the chili pepper dominated the super hot world 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 American grower Ed Currie. The same grower also developed the Pepper X, which has now been officially named the hottest chili pepper in the world by the 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 processing this extremely hot chili pepper! It is recommended to wear gloves when cutting or processing the chilies and use them with care to avoid skin irritation and discomfort. Do you dare to take on the challenge?

Preparation
– Bake the dried peppers in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. This will release the essential oils and give them more flavor. Then, rehydrate the dried peppers with hot water. Let them soak in hot water for 15/20 minutes and then cut/chop to the desired size.
– Grind the dried peppers into flakes or powder.

To keep dried chili peppers good for a long time, store them in an airtight package in the pantry or, even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposure to air, moisture, light, and heat, as this can cause the dried peppers to discolor, mold, and lose flavor.

The dried chilies have a long shelf life, but for optimal flavor and spiciness, do not store them for more than a year. Click here for more information on storing and freezing dried chilies.
