AAA - Smoked Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Smoked Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Powder

The World’s Hottest Pepper—Extreme Heat with a Bold, Smoked Complexity.

Overview

Our natural Smoked Carolina Reaper packs a powerful heat at 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 (SHUs). These peppers are expertly smoked to add a rich, campfire depth to the classic "creeper heat" that intensifies with time. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and fruity flavor balanced by robust smoky notes! Our Smoked Carolina Reaper ground powder is 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, Bold Smoke, 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.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Smoked Carolina Reapers are known to be the world's hottest pepper with an added layer of culinary depth! 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 smoky flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' reapers. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This powder is perfect in small doses for a specific smoky, 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 smoked powder 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 smoky, fruity sweet flavor of the Carolina Reaper without the overwhelming heat.
