Monsoon Spice Company Carolina Reapers Dry Whole Pepper Pods * Hottest Peppers in the World | Free Domestic Shipping

I love spice, and it's been on my bucket list to try the "hottest pepper in the world" for some time now. I bought these peppers here, and they arrived in a small black bag, well sealed, and the peppers looked good with a mild heat coming from them.After eating a whole pepper in one go, I was in a lot of pain. These truly are the hottest thing I've ever eaten! But.... I was honestly expecting it to be bit more. The heat builds up very quickly, almost to the point of being unbearable, and then it's gone in a quick 3-5 minutes. I was expecting 20 minutes of blazing, scorching, regrettable heat. But these were thankfully not THAT evil.The heat is very intense, and I actually love it. The short duration of the heat makes it perfect to put into dishes. I've been adding small flakes of this to my spicy korean ramen, and it really turns up the heat to 11. My only warning about these peppers is: WASH YOUR HANDS after you handle them, especially if you broke one into pieces. I got a tiny piece of pepper lodged under my fingernail and for the next day it felt like a red hot needle was burning its way through my finger....not fun.Great peppers. Great heat. Nice flavor. 10/10, would buy again.

So I bought these as a joke - just kind of go to a friend and "hey, bet you won't eat this" sort of joke. Well i get them, and i cut one in half and get a seed and eat it to test its spice and that should have told me to not do what I did next because one seed alone made my body sweat from nearly every hole. At college, I have 3 people eat one before class - me and 2 other friends. My first friend somehow shrugged it off like she just ate a banana. My second friend apparently got a severe headache but no burning sensation. Then there was me. At first I was fine, but then class started and the heat slowly got more and more intense. It just kept rising so I started to chug coffee and the snacks my professor brought for that day, but the heat wouldn't stop. I was able to not disrupt class until about 30 minutes in when the heat started to die down... Then my stomach reacted. To describe the pain, it was like electrical barbed wire was circulating through my body leading to an ever expanding ball of nails in my stomach. I had to leave class to get water and to just relax, but I didn't make it to the drinking fountain. Instead I collapsed on the floor near some couches, but I hadn't the ability to climb up onto one and neither sit nor lay down. For about 20 minutes, I just sat there on the ground letting the pain surge before it got to a point where I could walk again. I got water, went and finished class, bought strawberry milk from the bookstore, cancelled my tutoring job for the day and just suffered for about another 2 hours. At this point the pain was reduced to a minor stomach ache. Eating one of these peppers made 3 hours of my life unbearable (for those morbidly wondering; it didn't hurt coming out), and I would totally buy these to make hot sauce. 5 stars for the heat content.

I got these puppies on a Morndas afternoon as I just finished chopping wood in Rorikstead. My hands were gristly, my beard was sweaty, and my throat was parched after the long morning of chopping firewood. I went inside my little house, and my wife, Fjola, called to me, "Hans, Hans, what are these exotic fruits?" I uttered, "Oh, honey, those are but the most powerful alchemical species of fruit out there!" She gasped, "Honey, you mean, the CAROLINA REAPER?!" I nodded. My wife, nervous, handed me the sealed bag. She did a slight bow to me and started walking away. She then said, "Honey, you are a powerful man for getting these. Blessings of the Eight upon ye'." She then left the house, presumably to go pick the gourds growing outside. I opened the package. A big *swoosh* burst forth from the bag, displacing my luscious Nordic locks. I shook off that strange phenomenon, thinking that most divine alchemical ingredients do that. I reached into the bag, my burly hands shaking in anticipation and nervousness. I touched one of the red fruits, these "peppers". I could feel energy pulsating from its dried, pruny surface. I pulled the pepper out. I dunked my head back. Then, I did it. I took the pepper, and I placed it within my mouth. Then, I chewed.I chewed. And I chewed. The taste was not too dissimilar to the Dragon's Breath flowers found growing in the large Skyrim tundras. However, it was somewhat different... Somewhat... IT WAS THE VERY ESSENCE, THE VERY SOUL, OF A DRAGON!!! I felt the *swoosh* come again. This time, it was louder than the Chantry of the Reclamations. It was deafening. My eyes began to water. My hearing became duller and duller. The pepper sludged its crunchy way down my esophagus. The effects were getting stronger. Then, it hit my stomach. The effects stopped. But then, something else happened. My stomach let out a thunderous roar, and I blacked out into a state of unconscious consciousness. I was feeling a horrible pain, but I couldn't awake from the coma. I was halfway between death and life. 12 hours later, however, it subsided. I woke up. BUT THEN!!!A great dragon, a shade of one it appeared to look like, burst forth from my buttocks!!! I felt a burn like no other fire before! It was originally spectral in appearance, but then the *swoosh* came again, giving the great reptile life! It was massive! It has brown scales and ferocious eyes. But, just as the *swoosh* gave him life, it gave me something in return. I backed away. The dragon stood in the same spot in the sky, flapping its massive wings. I kept backing away, and then I brought my head back a ways. Then, the WORDS, burst forth. They were this: "YOL TOOR SHUL!!!!!!" A great, massive fireball burst forth from my mouth, knocking me back a ways! The fireball travelled and travelled, hitting the great dragon. The dragon caught on fire, and I could see it start to burn. It tried to flee, but it had to land, out of pain. The scales burned. Burned to dust. All that was left was a great reptilian skeleton. Then, the *swoosh* returned. Spectral energy came from the remains, and I absorbed them somehow. An incredible Nordic chant followed thereafter. Onlookers stared in disbelief, calling me the "Dragonborn". I nodded my head, affirming what they said, somehow. I then went back into the remains of my house and put the peppers into my old lockbox, for safekeeping. I would then become an adventurer thereafter, saving lives, rescuing damsels, but then an arrow below my femur ended that plan all too quickly. I then became a city guard. And I have peppers to thank for all of this.FIN

I got smaller pods than what we were expecting, however my expectation was likely too much.As the title suggest, they were very hot! Some friends and I ate one as a result of a bet/dare. Will never do that again, but be aware. Depending on your tolerance of spice (mine is high, so the mouth burning wasn't so horrible), the effects on your body my differ. Don't eat them by themselves, use them for cooking like the label says.However if you absolutely must eat them in their singular form, have milk and ice cream on standby. Depending on your body's ability to handle the spicy, do not eat if you have any projects due that midnight. Do not eat if you need to go to class or work early the next day. I cannot stress this enough, be very very ready for the lasting "toilet related" effects. It will not be pleasant.Good product. Performs as advertised.
