Carolina Reaper Yellow

Carolina Reaper Yellow: A Lethal Twist on a Legendary Pepper

The Carolina Reaper Yellow is a stunning variation of the infamous Carolina Reaper, known for its extreme heat and intense flavor. Developed by Ed Currie of the PuckerButt Pepper Company, this pepper maintains the same fiery potency of the original red Carolina Reaper but with a distinctive yellow color. With a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) range of 1.5 to 2.2 million, it is widely regarded as one of the hottest peppers in the world, providing an intense burn that can overwhelm even the most seasoned heat seekers.

Maturing in about 90-100 days, the Carolina Reaper Yellow plant typically grows to a height of 3-4 feet, producing small, wrinkled pods that measure around 2-3 inches long. The yellow pods ripen to a brilliant golden yellow color, making them visually striking and a unique addition to any garden. The Carolina Reaper Yellow shares the same notorious "tail" as its red counterpart, giving it a distinct appearance.

Flavor-wise, the Carolina Reaper Yellow delivers a pungent, fruity flavor with hints of citrus and floral undertones. Its heat is immediate and relentless, making it perfect for those who enjoy creating extreme hot sauces, spicy dishes, or daring culinary experiments.
