Carolina Reaper Seeds

Carolina Reaper Seeds

    Item #376


    The Carolina Reaper, one of the most famous chili peppers, held the Guinness World Record as the world’s hottest chili from 2013 until 2023.

    Developed by Ed Currie of South Carolina, the Reaper averages an astonishing 1,641,183 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), with some peppers reaching up to 2.2 million SHU. Its fiery heat is due to capsaicin, a chemical compound evolved as a deterrent against mammals, which might damage the seeds, while encouraging birds, immune to capsaicin, to spread them.

    Belonging to the species Capsicum chinense, the Carolina Reaper is a close relative of other notorious hot peppers, such as the Habanero. Its distinctive wrinkled appearance, scorpion-like tail, and surprising fruity undertones make it a standout in heat and flavor.

    This listing is for approximately 10 seeds.

      WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

      You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

      We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

      With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

      Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.

      — TERRY MUDGE, FOUNDER & SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR
