Dried Carolina Reaper Pepper
Dried Carolina Reaper Pepper is the hottest chili pepper certified in the world, belonging to the species Capsicum chinense. Selected by Ed Currie of PuckerButt Pepper Company by crossing a Naga Morich with a red Habanero, it earned the Guinness World Record in 2013 with an average of about 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units and peaks up to 2,200,000 SHU.
The Carolina Reaper Plant
The bush is compact and vigorous, 80-100 cm tall outdoors. Leaves are small and dark green, white flowers with greenish centers appear throughout summer. Fruits have wrinkled, bumpy skin with the characteristic pointed tail at the tip.
How to Sow Carolina Reaper
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C: germination is slow and can take 3-4 weeks. Bury seeds about 0.5 cm deep in a light, well-drained substrate.
How to Grow Carolina Reaper
Transplant from May, once night temperatures stay above 15°C. It prefers very sunny, wind-sheltered spots, fertile soil rich in organic matter, spaced 50-60 cm apart.
Heat Level and Care Tips for Carolina Reaper
Given its extreme heat, always handle fruits with disposable gloves, avoiding any contact with eyes and mucous membranes. In cold climates, container growing is recommended to shelter it over winter, as it behaves as a perennial.
Diseases and Pests of Carolina Reaper
Like other Capsicum chinense, it can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly, especially under protected cultivation with poor ventilation. Good drainage prevents root rot.
Properties and Uses of Carolina Reaper
Capsaicin, responsible for the extreme heat, has thermogenic properties and boosts metabolism. The dried pepper is used as powder, sauces or concentrated extracts, given its potency requiring minimal doses.
