Well here it is in all it's glory. The Carolina Reaper! Newest hottest pepper in the world. I'm a little disappointed as the plant looks healthy but so far has only produced two peppers. I guess my stomach is thanking the plant lol! I chopped a corner off of this one and divided it into pieces the size or a little bit bigger than a toothpick head. As I was making the initial cut the whole kitchen smelled like pepper spray. Tons of flavor packed into these 1 or 2 mm pieces. Heat hits a bit later and in the back of your mouth...and you can feel them going down inside of you. I cannot imagine eating bigger pieces than I cut
. And would think if you were going to heat these up you better have a gas mask on.
Hope to get some more growing to send out to unsuspecting victims!
