The dried Carolina Reaper is the second hottest pepper in the world. The pepper was ranked No 1 for 10 years, as the hottest pepper in the world, but was overtaken by the Pepper X on 23 August 2023. The Reaper was cultivated by US grower Ed Currie. The same breeder developed the Pepper X, which has now been officially named the hottest chilli in the world by the Guinness World Records.
The Carolina Reaper has an average number of Scoville Units of 1.64 million with outliers of up to 2.2 million. Besides being very hot, the pepper is also recognisable for its fruity flavour.
It is recommended to work with small portions due to its extreme spiciness. Be careful when preparing and handling the dried Carolina Reaper!
Preparation
– Fry the dried chillies in a dry frying pan on medium heat for about 2 minutes. This will release the essential oils and give them more flavour. Then rehydrate by soaking them in hot water for about 15/20 minutes, then chop as you prefer.
– Place the dried chillies in a food processor and grind them until they have the coarse texture you prefer, flakes or powder.

To keep dried chillies fresh for a long time, it’s best to store them in an airtight container in the pantry or even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposure to air, moisture, light and heat, which can cause the dried chillies to discolour, mould and lose their flavour.
The dried chillies have a long shelf life, but for optimum flavour and spiciness we advise to not store them for longer than a year. Click here for more information on storing and freezing dried chillies.
