Carolina Reaper Pepper - Explosive

Carolina Reaper Pepper is the result of a crossing of Habanero and Bhut Jolokia peppers undertaken by a passionate horticulturalist: Ed Currie. Also called "the North Carolina Reaper" or "Gringo Killer", its strength can reach over 2 million SHU (Scoville units). In comparison, the Habanero pepper - which is already very strong - can reach 325,000 SHU, a Cayenne pepper goes up to 50,000 SHU and an Espelette pepper generally only reaches 3000 SHU. Obviously, tolerance is specific to everyone, which is why the Scoville scale cannot be the only parameter to take into account. However, it does give an idea of our limits, depending on what we are used to tolerating or not, as some will be sensitive to an Espelette pepper, while others will fully appreciate a Bhut Jolokia (almost 1 million SHU ) ... Anyway, it is important to remember that it is not a game and that it should be consumed by taking great precautions; especially if you want to discover what is beyond its spiciness. Because yes, it deserves to be known also for its flavor, and not simply for the experience of having tasted the hottest pepper in the world. Its flavor is warm and fruity. It has notes of citrus and orange. Its heat is intense and persistent, but a good dosage helps to control it. It excels in sauces and casseroles! It is best to use it dried in dishes that will allow it to gradually rehydrate: stews, sauces, soups, oils ... We advise you to use an infuser (e.g. tea ball) to prevent the chilli does not get lost in the preparation because it could hurt a lot if you accidentally bite into a piece of Carolina Reaper, however small it may be. 100% natural: no additives, no coloring, no preservatives, no GMOs and no irradiation.
