Carolina Reaper Hot Chili Pepper (Capsicum chinense)
Carolina Reaper holds the title as the world’s hottest chili pepper, boasting an unmatched heat level and a distinctive fruity flavor. Originally developed in South Carolina, USA, this fiery pepper has earned global acclaim and is a must-have for spice enthusiasts.
Plant Characteristics
The Carolina Reaper is a vigorous, bushy plant reaching a height of 90–120 cm. It produces wrinkled, lantern-shaped fruits with a characteristic scorpion-like tail. Each pepper measures 4–5 cm in length and weighs 7–10 grams. The fruits mature from green to a deep, fiery red, showcasing a glossy finish. This plant is highly productive, delivering abundant yields of these legendary chilies.
Flavor and Heat Profile
The Carolina Reaper peppers feature an intense, fruity flavor complemented by extreme heat, rated at 1,641,183 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) on average, with some reaching over 2.2 million SHU. Packed with capsaicin, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, these chilies offer not just heat but also nutritional benefits.
Cultivation Recommendations
Carolina Reaper thrives in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when temperatures are consistently warm, spacing plants 50–60 cm apart. Regular watering, mulching, and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer will support healthy growth. Fruits typically mature in 90–120 days after transplanting.
Applications and Uses
The extreme heat of Carolina Reaper peppers makes them ideal for hot sauces, chili powders, and spice blends. Their unique fruity flavor pairs well with marinades, salsas, and stews. Due to their potency, these peppers should be handled with care, making them a popular choice for culinary challenges or creating artisanal spicy products.
