Magic Plant Orange Charapita Pepper Mash

The World’s Most Expensive Pepper—Exotic Citrus Heat in a Concentrated Mash.

Overview

Our natural Orange Charapita packs a respected heat at 30,000 to 50,000 (SHUs). Originating from the Amazonian jungle of Peru, the Charapita provides an immediate, sharp warmth. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex citrusy and fruity flavor! Our Orange Charapita ground pepper, crushed flakes, and fermented mash are quite hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, while small in size, the heat is significant, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Orange Charapita is known as one of the rarest peppers in the world, resulting in its status as a gourmet treasure. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Charapita peppers have a distinctive appearance with a tiny, pea-like shape and a bright orange-yellow color. They are often characterized by their intense aroma and high oil content, giving them a "golden" status in the global chili community.

The Experience

Orange Charapitas are known to be the "Mother of all Chili Peppers"! 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. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Charapitas. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the adventurous palate, just add more directly on top!

Looking for Balance?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such spicy peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fermented mash with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) 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 rare citrus flavor of the Charapita without the overwhelming sting.
