please ignore the title of this thread, I can not edit it
just read HOOOOOOT peppers

I didnt want to offend anyone and I didnt want to make publicity for anyone. I am from europe and do not know about your problems with carolina reaper and co. I am sorry and beg your pardon...
this is just meant as a funny video about eating hot peppers

I've got seeds started for that one, not sure if I'll be brave enough to try it, but going to give it a go :)

I know how these guys feel. I too have eaten a full Carolina Reaper and the results are not good. I was curled in a ball for 4-6 hours trying not to throw up fire. These peppers are no joke. That being said in moderation they add some good heat to any salsa. Do you want to grow these Charline? I have plenty of seed.

This is probably the most interesting 'reaper-related' product to date:

Man as if vodka doesnt burn enough. I make straight Carolina Reaper sauce and it hurts enough i can only imagine if it was mixed with alcohol. Why anyone would drink that i will never understand. Also if anyone else would like some Carolina Reaper seed shoot me a pm and i will send some out to you.

Carolina Reaper struck me as more of an ornamental than an edible. If I was going to eat something that hot, the ghost peppers I grew next to it looked a lot more edible, thicker-walled, and easier to work with.

From what I read, the "World's Hottest Pepper" title depends upon who is giving the award and what rules they use. Guinness was ok with using the highest scoville number registered on any sample out of several. If those scoville numbers were averaged, or a mean was used, then the winner of the award would be a different variety.

Beyond the raw peppers is extract. The Source Hot Sauce is said to be the hottest, at 7,100,000 Scoville units.:insn:

I have tried it and i can contest that it is horrible. All it took was a toothpick dipped in it to make me wish i was dead. It was so hot that both my brother in law and myself drank hot soda that was in my car to releive the pain. I could not feel my tongue for around 4 hours. After you have had that the rest is just childs play.

drew51 January 21, 2016 06:43 PM

I want to grow it to use as a mammal deterrent to my fruit trees! I have as of yet never used it. i have used other super hots, works well if you can keep it on the fruit!

syfymy5 January 21, 2016 08:54 PM

If you have any reaper seeds left , i could use a few.

I read a short story about a pepper eating contest many years ago.
What the winner did was inject sulfuric acid in his opponents peppers. :shock:

Worth1 January 22, 2016 02:14 PM

Then there was the lady on garden web many years ago.
Her tomatoes were screaming hot and she was convinced they crossed with hot peppers.
We all said that it wasn't possible.
I said that maybe her husband had pulled a prank on her.
She said there was no way he would do that to her.
About a day or two later she came back on line and said her husband had injected hot pepper juice into her tomatoes while they were on the vine right before she picked them.:))

I used to do the same thing with cut carrots.
I would mix some from the pepper jar in with my dads carrots when he wasn't looking.:twisted:

My Ghost Plants were bigger and more robust than the reaper plants too. They are hotter than i really need or want and I probably couldn't tell you which was hotter in a taste test

Thanks
I will send a pm

Looks like I will be making Carolina Reaper jelly this year, instead of Orange Habenero.

That is one giant step up from habs to the reaper. Be afraid be very afraid.:))

Worth1 February 6, 2016 10:51 AM

I need to come up with a good recipe to make hot pepper jelly with citric acid and not vinegar.
Something like lemon or lime juice plus canning citric acid.

mmm123 February 9, 2016 07:01 PM

seeds came today!
 
The seeds arrived today
THANKS
I will attempt to germinate some today,
It usually takes ghost peppers 2-3 weeks to pop, I assume the reapers
will be the same?
I have been eating ghost, tabasco and W.A. reds for several
months now and last week I ate a couple fresh habeneros. I just don't feel
the burn? I can't wait to eat a reaper! I also ate a half dozen jalepenos last week
and they taste like bell peppers. My kids say I don't have taste buds?
I really appreciate the seeds

I only know one old cowboy that can eat them without flinching. If you can do it that will be two. Good luck but be careful they bite.

Have to agree on that the ghost I have no trouble eating whole either. On the other hand the reaper is a different beast and a much more vicious burn and it lasts a lot longer.

taboule February 11, 2016 05:44 AM

Heirloomtomaguy,

Received my seeds yesterday, thank you. Perfect timing for starting them this weekend.

Dutch February 11, 2016 09:29 AM

Hi Heirloomtomaguy,
Carolina Reaper seeds arrived in the mail Tuesday afternoon. I plan on starting some this weekend also. Perfect timing Heirloomtomaguy, Thanks again!
