These aren't chile peppers, these are cherry-sized atom bombs. Carolina Reapers are the hottest chile pepper available to the public. They boast a blistering 1,569,000 Scoville heat units on average but have measured up to 2.2 million SHU! We recommend you handle these peppers with extreme caution – use gloves, protect your eyes, and use proper ventilation when cooking. Their fruity flavor makes these peppers a great addition to homemade hot sauces and jellies. You can also add a whole pepper right to a pot of chili, just be sure to remove it later!

Packin’ some heat!
This was for my Ghanaian housemate whose tastebuds know no fear! She was delighted with it, and no doubt I will need to be replacing it soon.
