Can someone edit this to be 95% red?Pepperoncini is fine, thankyouverymuch
Even though the reaper is the spiciest, my favorite pepper has to be the ghost pepper. Super sweet and nice taste first, then the heat builds slowly to something extreme. Excellent for making fermented hot sauce. Can’t wait for the peppers in our balcony to be ripe, so I can make all the sauce for next winter.
Anyone know a good way to source reapers locally or online without growing them myself? I like the flavor.
I wish I could help, b/c they are fucking bomb I agree! My Ma grew some in WV and made some dank reaper pepper jelly (3 different levels of spicy). The dried peppers she hooked me up with, caused me to capsaicin vapor bomb my kitchen a couple times until I figured out a method to mitigate that haha
Charts like these always make me wonder if anyone is breeding peppers for flavor and not just heat. Don’t get me wrong, I like several of the ones close to the top, but I also like a pepper that tastes good.
There’s lots of stuff on the bottom of the chart. Did you ever try ajvar (bell pepper paste)?
Bell peppers taste like plastic to me.
I don’t think they use exactly the same kind of bell peppers for ajvar as the one they sell in supermarkets. Fruit tend to be more tasteful when they don’t have to look pretty. There’s “hot” ajvar, too - not enough to make anyone sweat, but it has a certain spice.
Are pepper X and the dragons breath pepper confirmed real peppers? I thought they were just myths. 
I honestly don’t know. I’ve never encountered them myself. Carolina Reapers have been the hottest thing I’ve had on that infograph. Under that, Ghost peppers, and I love Habenero quite often. There are apparently so many spicy peppers I’ve never tried! Something to look forward to, eh?
