Carolina Reaper

The Carolina Reaper is the hottest pepper in the world! In addition to the very hot taste, this chilli is also recognizable by its fruity taste. The pepper has been number 1 since it was declared the hottest pepper in 2013 by the Guinness World Records. The chilli is cultivated by the American grower Ed Currie and is the most wanted, super hot pepper of the moment. The same grower stated that he developed a Pepper X that is twice as hot as the Carolina Reaper. But the Guinness World Records and other official don’t confirm this so far. That’s why the Carolina Reaper is still the hottest pepper.

Warning: Be careful when preparing and eating this super hot chilli.
