The Smoked Red Fiery Beast - The Oldest and Boldest Carolina Reaper Sibling

Get ready for a sizzling adventure with our premium and authentic  Smoked Carolina Reaper Chili dried whole pods. They are our potent and smoky spice derived from our premium Carolina Reaper peppers, one of the world's hottest chili varieties.  This fiery beast belongs to the Capsicum chinense species. This seasoning is not for the faint of heart, but if you're a spice enthusiast looking to crank up the heat in your dishes, this is the ultimate game-changer! 

Origins: Hailing from the spicy heartland of South Carolina, the Carolina Reaper pepper is a world record holder for its fiery punch!  Winning the World’s Hottest Chili Pepper in 2013 - surpassing the Scorpion Chili Pepper, another superhot that Magic Plant Farms always keeps on hand.

Appearance: As the Reaper matures, its colors go from green, yellow, red and even brown (called Chocolate). Each has subtle differences in flavor, but no matter what color it's pure heat! The Red Smoked Carolina is the mature chili and carries a maximum intense heat than its little sisters (Green, Yellow even Chocolate). These iconic pods maintain their characteristic bumpy and vibrant dark red appearance when dried and smoked, making them easily recognizable.

Heat: Brace yourself for an extraordinary Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of over 2,000,000 SHU! That's hotter than hot! 

Flavor: Hidden beneath the intense heat, there's a hint of fruity sweetness with intense smokiness, but be ready for a thrilling explosion of spice!

Uses: Our dried pepper pods are so much safer to handle than fresh Carolina Reapers. Easier to store, no fresh pepper spoilage, etc. However, understand you are handling the hottest chili pepper in the world so wear gloves and avoid touching your face. 

To use, So EASY - simply reconstitute the dried pod(s) by soaking in hot water (or stock?) or add them directly to your liquid based recipes for an authentic fiery kick. You can dice the reconstituted pods and add to salsas, chutneys or other dishes to really spice things up - Subtle is key here. You can always add more. Grinding the reconstituted pods into ketchup, make spicy  mayonnaise, BBQ Sauces or other marinades will certainly gain anyone's attention! You can also crush the dried pods into flakes or use a spice mill to grind into coarse or fine ground powder. USE CAUTION if you do this!  The powder can burn your eyes and lungs. You must wear protective gear and only process in a well ventilated area.

OR - just be safe and r emember , we also carry our non-GMO, authentic Green Carolina Reaper in fine ground powder and crushed flakes as well. We never use any fillers, additives or preservatives in our dry chili pepper products. Just 100% Chili Peppers.

Cuisines it would be good in: Our Grade A Smoked Carolina Reaper dried whole pods are your secret weapon to spice up dishes like chili con carne, marinades, hot sauces, pickling brines, and BBQ rubs.

Cooking Tips: Handle with care—wear gloves and avoid touching your face. Use sparingly; a little goes a long way. Mix any flakes or ground powder into liquids before adding to recipes for even distribution.

Now, it's time for the main event—two electrifying recipes to ignite your taste buds:

1. Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce: Ready to take on the heat? You may want to reconstitute the dried pods first. Then using a blender or food processor take however many of our premium superhot Green Carolina Reaper chili pods you can think you can handle - spice wise -   (then ½ that – you can add more later if you want) with garlic, salt, and vinegar. Carefully taste test this. Not hot enough? Just add more Reapers and blend it again. Store it in the fridge and use it to fire up any meal!

2. Spicy Carolina Reaper Chili: Brown ground beef, sauté onion and garlic, then add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and a daring dose of our superhot  Green Carolina Reaper Chili Peppers -  reconstituted dried whole pod (chopped), crushed flakes or ground powder . Simmer, serve hot, and top with cheese and sour cream if you dare!

PRO TIPS: 

• Keep milk,  yogurt , ice cream at the ready. Water is only going to spread the capsicum oils, and alcoholic drinks will only quinch the heat for a few seconds before it bursts back into flames.
• The spice level WILL intensify the longer your dish sits (even in the refrigerator) so keep this in mind. Those leftovers are going to be spicer!

So, spice lovers, are you up for the challenge? Get our premium, natural, non-GMO Smoked Carolina Reaper Chili Pepper flakes and set your taste buds on fire! Enjoy the thrill of the hottest spice adventure!
