Description
Carolina Reaper & Trinidad Scorpion Habanero Peppers are made for true heat lovers who want maximum intensity, deep aroma and serious chili character in the kitchen. This premium extreme-hot pepper set combines two powerful Capsicum chinense varieties: Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion Habanero.
The Carolina Reaper is known for its intense heat and complex flavour profile, with aromatic notes that can remind you of dark fruit, wood, cinnamon and subtle cocoa bitterness. The Trinidad Scorpion Habanero brings a sharp, fruity and exotic aroma with a very powerful heat that develops quickly and lasts.
Because these peppers are extremely hot, they should be used very carefully. A tiny pinch or the tip of a knife is usually enough to add serious intensity to a dish. They are ideal for homemade barbecue sauces, hot sauces, marinades, chili con carne, stews, spicy oils, grilled meats, ribs, duck, red meat, chutneys and even bold fruit-based sauces.
For the best result, combine a very small amount with sweet, smoky or fruity ingredients such as honey, mango, pineapple, tomato, roasted pepper, barbecue sauce or rum-based marinades. This creates a more balanced flavour while keeping the fiery character of the peppers.
