Unpretentious, Whole Carolina Reaper Chiles, 8 Count

I may adjust this review next year, if no seeds from the peppers germinate. But then, I may not. I ordered then for the burn, not the bush. And, they delivered! I've seen a few reviews with low ratings because the pods came crushed. Mine were nice, big, whole reaper pods. Delicious, until your taste buds melt off your tongue! They were perfectly ripe, bright "I'm going to make you suffer" red. (An aside: If you Gert a chance to try an unripe, they're also delicious, but only when near ripe, and fresh.) They were fresh/dried. Again, I've seen reviews that talk about a "smoky" taste, and that they must have been smoked. If you eat a fresh reaper, right off the bush, you'll get that same smoky. It's part of the draw of the reaper. Smoky, sweet, heat that I am glad wasn't around when I was a kid (remember when parents put hot sauce or peppers in their kids' mouths, to "let them know what hell is like" or whatever? Yeah, I'm really glad these weren't around!) No mold, no peppers with rot, not off-smells, just the sweet burn of tropical flowers, citrus, a hint of smoky, and military grade pepper spray as you inhale.

Extremely Hot and juicy...excellent in many dishes.

Money well spent, this pepper live up to it name.and quality. came in the amount as described in the package. Package was seal tight. 👌I will order again 😍😍.

Best value on dried reaper pepper, whole dried peppers 25 in a resealable bag. Excellent fruity flavor that really brings the heat.

I ordered Carolina Reaper peppers from a few brands on here and these were by far the best. These add some serious heat to anything you put them in. They also have a fruity taste which is pleasant. They are incredibly versatile, I made a hot sauce with them that is a hit with all my spice lovers. I kept a few seeds and will try growing them, I will update if I have success with germination etc.

I lightly toast one (seeded) chili and add it to 16oz of my version of Hot Carolina vinegar BBQ sauce. The heat and flavor are exceptional. I make two versions of my sauce. The regular version uses a Thai whole dried chile, and the flavor is fine. For folks who like the heat and flavor of Carolina Reaper, the X-Hot version is a big hit. If you love your friends, please clearly label food that includes this chili; not everyone enjoys this level of heat,

The peppers are all clean, dry but not cooked and were obviously in great shape before the drying process. Heat and flavor are still there. Literally a perfect product.

Little more dehydrated than expected but WOW , extremely hot ,heat hits you instantly. When the dust settle the flavor is amazing
