California Reaper Red Powder is obtained by finely grinding the deep red fruits of this variant of the famous Carolina Reaper.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense, produces bright red pods with a bumpy surface and characteristic pointed tail.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown between February and March in a seedbed at 24-28°C, dried and ground after the autumn harvest.
slow, low-temperature drying preserves the bright color and aroma, followed by fine grinding that removes the coarser seed fragments.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, and dosed with extreme caution: a few pinches are enough to season an entire dish.
when handling it, gloves and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways even from a distance.
California Reaper Red Powder has an extreme heat level, among the highest in the world: use it in minimal pinches for artisan hot sauces or as a challenge for true enthusiasts.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, responsible for its record heat, along with good amounts of vitamin A and antioxidants.
