The Carolina Reaper chili pepper variety held the crown for the hottest chili until recently! With being able to reach over 1,500,000 points yes that’s 1.5 Million points on the Scoville scale and up to 2.2 millions!. The Carolina Reaper chili pepper with its stinger tail, is gnarled and bumpy and not to be messed with! At about 4 cm long and 3cm wide, it ripens to red. The Carolina Reaper is not for the faint hearted and should be handled with extreme caution and care! Avoid contact with skin and eyes!!! Recommend using gloves and mask while handling.
