Golden Reaper Seeds

Name: Golden Reaper
Background:
The Golden Reaper is a rare and extremely hot chili pepper, developed as a variant of the famous Carolina Reaper. Known for its striking golden-yellow color, this pepper retains the fierce heat of the original Reaper with a slightly more tropical flavor profile. The Golden Reaper is popular among chili enthusiasts for its unique color, fruity taste, and intense burn.
Characteristics:
Appearance:
The Golden Reaper has a bumpy, wrinkled texture with a pointed tail, similar to the Carolina Reaper. When fully mature, it turns a bright, golden-yellow color that adds an eye-catching visual appeal to any garden or dish.
Heat Level:
This pepper can reach between 1,500,000 and 2,200,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it one of the hottest peppers available. It delivers an intense, long-lasting burn that builds gradually, providing a formidable heat experience.
Size:
The pods are medium-sized, usually around 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter, with a slightly elongated shape and a prominent tail that resembles a scorpion’s stinger.
Taste Profile:
The Golden Reaper offers a fruity, tropical flavor with hints of citrus and a slight sweetness that balances its heat. This unique flavor profile makes it ideal for adding complexity to dishes and hot sauces.
Culinary Uses:
The Golden Reaper is perfect for making ultra-hot sauces, chili powders, and extreme spicy condiments. Its fruity flavor pairs well with tropical and savory dishes, making it a versatile choice for those who can handle its heat. Due to its intensity, it should be used sparingly and is best suited for experienced chili lovers.
Growing Notes:
The Golden Reaper plant grows up to 3 to 4 feet tall and produces a moderate yield of golden-yellow pods. It thrives in warm climates, with full sun and well-draining soil. This variety has a longer growing season as it takes time for the pods to fully mature and develop their vibrant color.
Caution:
Gloves are recommended when handling the Golden Reaper due to its extreme heat. Avoid contact with the face or eyes, as the capsaicin can cause severe irritation. Cooking with this pepper should be done in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to potent fumes.
Fun Fact:
The Golden Reaper is highly sought after for its vivid color and extreme heat, making it a popular choice for chili collectors. Its bright, tropical appearance belies its incredibly intense spice, offering a unique twist on the original Carolina Reaper.
