Carolina Reaper - Färsk (10g)

That fruity sweetness really balances out the insane heat—I used half a pod in a marinade and my whole kitchen smelled amazing. Definitely handled it with gloves as warned, and it was worth the caution for that intense kick.

Made a hot sauce with this yesterday and the fruity sweetness really balances the insane heat. Even a tiny piece gives a serious kick, so gloves are a must.

I was pleasantly surprised by the fruity sweetness beneath the heat — it's not just a one-note burner. The fresh pods are perfect for fermenting, though definitely use gloves as warned.
