Scoville: ~1 600 000 to 2 000 000

Developed by a man named Ed Currie, the Carolina reaper pepper is a type of chili pepper rated exceptionally hot. The heat comes in as a bit of a creeper, and while it has more of a sweet but slightly fruity taste to it, it can certainly be too hot for some. While hard to grow it is well worth it, growth time is usually between 60-90 days depending on the climate in your area.
