Description

Discover the intense heat and unmistakable flavor of the Carolina Reaper. For more than a decade, the Carolina Reaper 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, beloved for its tremendous heat and fruity aromas. It produces an intense sensation that challenges even the most experienced chili pepper lovers. But don't let its spiciness fool you - behind the searing heat is a subtle fruitiness that tantalizes the taste buds and adds a layer to dishes. From hot sauces to rubs and marinades, this iconic pepper is a favorite ingredient for those seeking an intense flavor 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?

    Delicious sambal terasi goreng made with these Carolina Reapers, Ghost peppers and chili peppers as Christmas gifts for the family! Everything is always shipped 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 crisp peppers where I have been ordering from 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.
