The California Reaper pepper is widely recognized as one of the hottest chili peppers globally. Known for its fiery heat and unique flavor profile, it has captured the attention of spicy food enthusiasts and chefs alike.
This pepper boasts an astonishing Scoville rating, often surpassing 1.5 million units, making it an exhilarating choice for those seeking extreme heat. Its vibrant red color and distinct wrinkled texture enhance its visual appeal, setting it apart from milder varieties.
Start the seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date. When transplanting outdoors, ensure they are given plenty of sunlight and warm temperatures.
