AAA - Orange Charapita Peppers in Brine

Magic Plant Orange Charapita Peppers in Brine

The World’s Most Expensive Chili—Rare, Citrusy Heat Preserved in Brine.

Overview

Our natural Orange Charapita peppers pack a sophisticated heat at 30,000 to 50,000 (SHUs). Originally from the Peruvian jungle, these peppers are highly sought after by gourmet chefs worldwide. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex citrusy and tropical fruity flavor! Our Orange Charapita peppers in brine are medium-hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is sharp and immediate, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Charapita is considered a "wild" pepper variety, resulting in its unique appearance and extreme rarity. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Charapita peppers have a distinctive appearance with a tiny, round, pea-sized shape and a vibrant yellow-orange color. They are often characterized by their concentrated flavor and high demand, giving them a "caviar" or "mother of all chilis" reputation.

The Experience

Orange Charapitas are known to be the world's most exclusive 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. 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 gourmet enthusiast, just add several whole peppers directly on top!

Looking for Balance?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such concentrated spicy peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our Charapitas in brine 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 tropical flavor of the Charapita without the overwhelming heat.
