I'd have to agree with that statement. I tried some ghost pepper salsa recently ... my gosh, the flavor was amazing. Yeah, it was spicy hot, but not as hot as one would imagine. Now the ghost pepper hot sauce ... wow! That stuff is hot!!!
The Carolina Reaper has been verified to measure up to 2.2M SHU! The Ghost Pepper is around 970,000.
Just today, I planted all three peppers. I am starting them in the Rapid Rooter Tray.
I can't wait to try the Carolina Reaper!! The plants grows about 5ft high by 4ft wide.
I like the flavor of the ghost pepper better than habanero. I use it to increase the heat of my jalapeno sauce. I also make pure ghost sauce for other applications. I would never do what they did.
