Carolina Reaper Peppers - Oven Dried (2 Oz) Carolina Reaper Peppers - Oven Dried (2 Oz)

The Carolina Reaper pepper, a crossbreed between a Ghost pepper and a Red Habanero pepper, boasts an average Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of 1,500,000 on the Scoville Heat Scale, with some individual peppers reaching an incredible 2,200,000 SHU. Known for its sweet and somewhat tropical flavor, the Carolina Reaper delivers an instant rush of heat that can be unbearable, with the pain subsiding in about 10 minutes. During this time, users experience a sense of euphoria akin to running a marathon as their body tries to chemically compensate for the pain.

The feeling of pain associated with the Carolina Reaper and other peppers that contain capsaicin is a result of the pain receptors that mammals possess. Birds and insects, on the other hand, lack these particular receptors and therefore do not experience the same level of discomfort. While capsaicin can cause the skin to burn and blister, peppers themselves are not harmful if properly ingested.

The Carolina Reaper is one of the world's hottest peppers, with a heat level of up to 2.2 Million Scoville Heat Units. These peppers are non-smoked and oven-dried in commercial ovens, ensuring that users can experience the real, natural flavor. To rehydrate the peppers, they can be submerged in warm water for 15 minutes. Each package contains approximately 25 peppers, providing a unique and intense culinary experience for those seeking the ultimate in spice.
