Sorry Lowell, the Jolokia is not the hottest anymore! Also, the company that sells the Reaper isn't called Beelzebub's Bum, but it is called Pucker Butt Pepper Company, which is almost as absurd.

Don't Fear the (Carolina) Reaper
Have you guys heard about the Carolina Reaper? If you haven't, It is the new hottest pepper in the world. Ever since I first heard about them, I've been dying to try one. Unfortunately, you can't exactly just buy them, so my dad and I recently ordered some seeds so we can grow them ourselves. The people we bought them from (and who originally developed them in the first place) are the same ones who make the official iZombie hot sauce, which I also really want to try! Anyway, assuming we can actually get them to grow, I'm definitely going to film myself eating one for my video blog. Eating the Jolokia (the former hottest pepper) was on my bucket list, so I think this will take it's place. Anyone want to try one with me, so we can embarrass ourselves on the internet together?

I ate a ghost pepper that I had grown a few days ago. It was not nearly as hot as they make you think.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! How hard were they to grow? I'm not that great at growing things, and I'm really hoping mine survive. I always sort of assumed that people were making a much bigger deal about it than it really is, I'm glad that's finally confirmed :)
DeleteI only bought one plant and it is doing good. It has several smaller peppers and some blooms now. I did not treat it any differently then I do my other pepper plants. So I just water and fertilize every so often.
ReplyDeleteCool, thank you :) Hopefully mine will be okay too then.
