AAA - Smoked Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Whole Dried Pods

Magic Plant Smoked Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Whole Dried Pods

The World’s Hottest Heat—Infused with Deep, Artisanal Smoke.

Overview

Our natural Smoked Carolina Reaper packs a powerful heat at 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 (SHUs). These pods undergo a specialized smoking process that enhances the classic "creeper heat" with a bold, campfire aroma. The burn intensifies with time, but those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky, sweet, and fruity flavor! Our Smoked Carolina Reaper 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, and our smoked version adds a layer of culinary depth to 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

Smoked Carolina Reapers are known to be the world's hottest pepper with a gourmet twist! 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 pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific smoky 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 pods 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 sweet flavor of the Carolina Reaper without the overwhelming heat.
