Whole Carolina Reaper Chiles, 1 lb - Dried Hot Pepper Pods, Extreme Heat (750,000-900,000 SHU), by Woodland Gourmet

Brand: Woodland Gourmet

Whole Carolina Reaper Chiles are among the hottest peppers ever cultivated, earning the Guinness World Record for the World’s Hottest Pepper in 2013. Originally developed in Rock Hill, South Carolina through crossbreeding ghost and habanero peppers, Carolina Reapers are known for their extraordinary capsaicin content and signature pointed “stinger” shape. Fully ripened and dried to a deep brick red color, these whole pods deliver intense, searing heat balanced by subtle sweetness and lightly roasted undertones. While peak laboratory measurements have exceeded 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units, most dried Carolina Reaper chiles average between 750,000 and 900,000 SHU - making them dramatically hotter than typical habanero peppers. These whole dried pods are ideal for hot sauce makers, extreme heat enthusiasts, and culinary professionals looking to build high-impact spice blends or specialty sauces. Use sparingly in chili, enchilada sauce, marinades, or small-batch hot sauces where heat can be balanced with acidity, sweetness, or fat. Due to their potency, handle carefully. Wear food-safe gloves when preparing and avoid inhaling powder when grinding. Always wash hands thoroughly after use. Made from 100% dried Carolina Reaper chiles.
