Carolina Reaper Pepper
20.9.2022 | 23:00
I thought I would grow a hotter pepper this year. I grew the Carolina Reaper which is the hottest pepper out there. A few people have tried the peppers and it is painfully hot. It is not for those who do not like highly spicey foods. Eat a small pepper section first as a trial, and do not rub eyes as the oil will remain on your fingers.
