AAA - Red Reaper X Whole Pods

Magic Plant Red Reaper X Pepper Whole Pods

The New Evolution of Heat—Extreme Potency with a Sweet, Floral Depth.

Overview

Our natural Red Reaper X packs an unprecedented level of heat, averaging 2,693,000 (SHUs) and reaching peaks that challenge the very limits of the Scoville scale. As the successor to the original record-holder, these pods provide a heat that is nearly in a category of its own. So those few seconds prior to the burn—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and floral flavor! Our Red Reaper X dry whole pods are dangerously hot (spicy), so use with extreme common sense and caution. Remember, this heat is potent and lingering; start with an microscopic amount to gauge your tolerance.

The Reaper X is the result of over a decade of selective breeding, designed to maximize the surface area of the capsaicin-producing placenta. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers have a distinctive, gritty appearance with a gnarled, pock-marked texture and a deep red color. They are characterized by a bulbous shape and a signature stinger tail, signaling the incredible intensity held within each pod.

The Experience

Red Reaper X is known to be the reigning champion of the pepper world! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with extreme caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' elite crops. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in tiny amounts for an unmatched aromatic kick in stews, extreme hot sauces, and salsas.

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such extreme peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry Reaper X pods with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento, or Sweety Drop Peppers). This allows you to experience the unique floral notes of the Reaper X without being overwhelmed by the record-breaking fire.
