Carolina Reaper Pepper

Carolina Reaper Pepper

EverydayFresh

The Carolina Reaper is officially recognized as the world's hottest chili pepper, with Scoville heat ratings averaging 1.6 to 1.7 million units. Developed by cultivator Ed Currie in South Carolina, this wrinkled, scarlet pepper features a distinctive pointed tail and requires extreme caution in handling and consumption. Despite its intense heat, the pepper offers a sweet, fruity flavor profile when used in microscopic quantities, though it should only be handled with protective equipment due to its potent capsaicin content.
