Magic Plant Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Whole Dried Pods
The World’s Hottest Pepper—Extreme Heat with a Complex, Fruity Twist.
Overview
Our natural Carolina Reaper packs a powerful heat at 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 (SHUs). Our reapers have the classic "creeper heat." The burn intensifies with time. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and fruity flavor! Our Carolina Reaper ground pepper, crushed flakes and dry whole pods are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat intensifies after eating so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.
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.

The Experience
Carolina Reapers are 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. 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' reapers. Use our premium quality dry 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 brave of heart, just add more directly on top!
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 Carolina Reaper peppers 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 fruity sweet flavor of the Carolina Reaper without the overwhelming heat.

Culinary Applications
Our Carolina Reaper has gained significant recognition and popularity in the spicy food community. It has become a symbol of extreme heat and is often associated with thrill-seeking spice enthusiasts and "chilihead" culture.
- Rehydration: Soak the whole dried pods in hot water for 15-20 minutes to rehydrate them. This makes them easy to dice or blend into fresh salsas and sauces.
- Infused Liquids: Add a whole dried pod to soups, stews, or chili during the simmering process. The heat will infuse into the liquid, providing a deep, consistent burn.
- Hot Sauces: Whole pods are the preferred choice for artisanal hot sauce makers who want to control the texture and strain out seeds or skins after boiling.
- Spicy Oils and Vinegars: Drop a whole pod into a bottle of high-quality olive oil or vinegar. Let it sit for several weeks to develop a potent, spicy infusion for drizzling.
- Grinding Fresh: For the most aromatic experience, use a spice grinder to turn these whole pods into fresh powder right before use.
- Decorative Heat: Whole pods add a professional, rustic look to gift baskets or as a garnish for extreme spicy food presentations.
- Pickling: Place a whole dried pod into your pickling jars to give your cucumbers, onions, or carrots a beautiful red color and a world-record kick.
