AAA - Smoked Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Flakes

Magic Plant Smoked Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Flakes

Extreme Heat Meets Deep Smoke—A Fiery, Wood-Fired Flavor Explosion.

Overview

Our natural Smoked Carolina Reaper packs a powerful heat at 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 (SHUs), now enhanced with a savory, slow-smoked finish. These reapers feature the classic "creeper heat" where the burn intensifies over time. Prior to the fire, the smoking process highlights a really nice complex sweetness and deep, earthy aromatic notes. Our Smoked Carolina Reaper crushed flakes 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, and our smoking process adds a new dimension to its extreme heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Carolina Reaper peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, bumpy texture. Once smoked and crushed into flakes, they provide a rustic, dark-red aesthetic that looks as powerful as it tastes.

The Experience

Smoked Carolina Reapers are the ultimate choice for those who crave the world's hottest pepper with a BBQ-ready soul! 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 deep, smoky complexity provided by Magic Plant Farms' reapers. Use our premium quality smoked chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific smoky kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas.

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our smoked flakes 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, or Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the smoky, sweet flavor of the Reaper without the overwhelming heat.
