In terms of yield, Ghost Pepper seems to be more productive compared to Carolina Reaper. Thinking which one of these chilis you must try to grow? Let’s talk about that in this section. It’s still extremely hot and takes a lot of consumption before our tongue becomes used with the Carolina hot sauce. Fortunately, we can still make hot sauce with Carolina Reapers which are actually pretty good because it also has this fruit-ish taste just like the Ghost Reapers. Unfortunately, we’re unable to taste the “sweetness” that a lot of people claim about Carolina Reapers because of its intense spice level. It has this strong punch that kicks in a couple of seconds even if you take the tiniest bit that you can.
Just don’t forget to use gloves when slicing!Ĭarolina Reapers, on the other hand, is a different beast. Of course, we don’t recommend eating these peppers alone but use them to make hot sauce or an ingredient in a spicy cuisine you’re preparing. Isn’t it ironic? How such chili-evil stuff has some sweetness hiding inside them? If you’re used to eating spicy cuisines and tasting peppers, the spiciness is quite tolerable but you still have to endure a couple of minutes. Ghost peppers are actually sweet and have this fruit-ish taste. If you’re scared to try tasting them, we do the difficult task so you don’t have to. Who wants to put their own tongue on fire? But behind the hotness of these chilis are savory flavors that await us. We know that both of these peppers are frightening to taste. Otherwise, it’s a Ghost Pepper.īoth these chilis are red in color but some varieties appear as purple or dark orange. If there is a long and “pointy” tail that is attached to a wrinkled body, it’s no doubt that it is a Caroline Reaper. To distinguish which is which, just look at the tail. In terms of texture, it is not that different from a Carolina Reaper because they are both wrinkled, bumpy, and rough. Unlike the Caroline Reaper that has an “out-of-place” tail, the tail of the ghost pepper is in harmony with the shape of the entire body. Meanwhile, a ghost pepper has this familiar “chili” form because of its elongated shape. Caroline Reapers have this irregular and bizarre form especially its tail portion which looks rutted and uneven but its top portion is smooth and rounded.Ĭarolina Reaper (left) and Ghost Pepper (right) Let us now talk about the differences in appearance between the two.
With these quantitative measures, the Carolina Reaper is more than twice as hot as the Ghost Pepper. It has an estimated 1,000,000 SHU which is still significantly higher compared to a jalapeno.
On the other hand, Ghost Pepper is not that far behind the hotness of the Carolina Reaper. This means that a Carolina Reaper is more than 250 times hotter than your already furious Jalapeno! So don’t mess with this guy if you’re one of the faint-hearted, this is the pinnacle of chili spiciness. The popular Jalapeno has an estimated SHU of 2,000 to 8,000. With an estimated Scoville Heat Units (SHU) of 1,640,000 to 2,200,000, Carolina Reaper has been hailed as the World’s hottest pepper twice in 2013 and in 2018. In this aspect, Carolina Reaper is the clear winner. Since we are pitting two chilis, it makes sense to start our discussion on which between these two can is more badass and put you on edge.
