Yellow Carolina Reaper Pepper
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Scoville: 1,500,000 - 2,200,000
The Yellow Carolina Reaper is a stunning color variant of the world-famous Carolina Reaper, combining blistering heat with a vibrant golden-yellow appearance. The pods develop the classic Reaper shape, featuring heavily wrinkled skin, deep folds, and the signature pointed "stinger" tail that has become iconic among superhot peppers. As the fruits mature, they transition from green to brilliant shades of lemon-yellow, gold, and bright sunshine yellow, creating a striking display on the plant.
Size
The peppers typically grow 2 to 3 inches long and possess a rugged, textured surface that hints at their extreme heat. Their bright coloration provides a dramatic contrast to the dark green foliage, making them one of the most eye-catching super hot varieties available.
Taste
The Yellow Carolina Reaper is prized for its intense fruity flavor. The pods offer bright notes of citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, and subtle floral undertones before the heat arrives. Many growers consider the yellow variant slightly sweeter and fruitier than its red counterpart. The burn builds rapidly and becomes overwhelmingly powerful, delivering the extreme heat for which Reaper varieties are famous.
