Extreme Heat • Fruity • Sweetest of the Super-Hots
The World’s Hottest Chili
The Carolina Reaper (pronounced keh-ruh-LAI-nuh REE-pr) is known worldwide as the hottest pepper on record. With a typical pungency range of 900,000 to 1,500,000 SHU, it delivers searing heat that challenges even the boldest palates.
But behind the intensity lies surprising complexity. The Carolina Reaper is also the sweetest of the super-hot peppers, with fruity, tropical notes that pair beautifully with its extreme pungency. This balance of sweet and fiery makes it unique among chilies.
Grown in Peru under ideal conditions, our Carolina Reaper is additive free and non-GMO, offering both authenticity and clean-label assurance.
