Origins: The Carolina Reaper is a crossbreed between a Ghost Pepper and a Red Habanero, resulting in its extreme heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Carolina Reaper peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, bumpy texture and a red color. They are often characterized by their pointed tail-like protrusion, giving them a "reaper" or scythe-like appearance.

Even smoked, it is still the famous Carolina Reapers known to be the world's hottest pepper! So why eat it?

Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure.

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground Smoked Carolina Reaper peppers with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita- very good paring) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the smoky, fruity sweet flavor of the Smoked Carolina Reaper without the overwhelming heat.
