Super-Hot Pepper Comparisons
Carolina Reaper vs Ghost Pepper
Both super-hots, but the Reaper doubles the Ghost Pepper's heat with sweeter, fruitier notes.
Carolina Reaper vs Habanero
A massive heat gulf — the Reaper can be 20x hotter — yet both share fruity chinense genetics.
Ghost Pepper vs Habanero
The Ghost Pepper roughly triples the habanero's heat with a distinctive slow-building smoky burn.
