Chilli - Carolina Reaper is one of the hottest peppers in the world, renowned for its extreme heat and unique flavor. With a Scoville heat rating that often exceeds 2 million SHU, this fiery chili delivers an intense, immediate burn followed by a fruity, slightly sweet aftertaste. The Carolina Reaper is a hybrid pepper, developed by crossing a Pakistani Naga pepper with a Red Habanero. Its wrinkled, red pods are small but pack a potent punch, making it perfect for those seeking an ultra-hot chili experience. Use it sparingly in sauces, salsas, or as a garnish for the brave heat-seeker.
