Quick Questions
How hot is a Carolina Reaper?
Around 1.6-2.2 million Scoville Heat Units - the current Guinness World Record holder for hottest chilli, and roughly 200-800 times hotter than a jalapeño.
How much do I need for a recipe?
Very little - a quarter to half a pod is usually plenty for a full pot of hot sauce or a big batch of chilli.
Do I need to wear gloves?
Yes, we'd recommend it. Capsaicin lingers on skin for hours and easily transfers to eyes and sensitive areas.
