Description:
Love the Carolina Reaper? Try the rare, scorching, intriguing Chocolate Reaper, a cross between the Red Carolina Reaper and the Chocolate Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper. The Chocolate Reaper is still being bred out for stability, but we want our customers to be the first to try it. Since these peppers are not yet 100% stable, there may be variations in pods for several generations.
Features:
- The Chocolate Reaper pepper plant will grow to around 4 ft. tall.
- These plants cultivate dark brown 2" pods.
- Chocolate Reaper peppers have the same wrinkly skin and bumpy texture as the classic red Carolina Reaper.
Culinary Uses:
- With a very strong floral aroma, the fruity flavor is similar to the red variety but with a hint of a smoky taste upfront.
- The Chocolate Reaper can reach heat levels beyond 2,200,000 SHUs, so use this pepper sparingly to add a lot of heat with just a little dose.
