MASH Carolina Reaper Pepper,9 oz

Fire stuffs, I had it for 2 years, most of it was used. I am really satisfied with this, the quality is just there in both the flavor and aroma, there is a deeply comforting feeling about the spiciness this brings. Because the flavor is so nuanced with even the smallest amounts, you can bring out a ton of character to any dish or sauce with this. I would be very careful not to overdo it as although it can be easy to down, it’s not as easy to process a ton of this stuff without excreting lava in the bathroom. That being said, if you add a small amount of this when prepping some food, you get a ton of spiciness for the price. It is thick like mash but not overwhelmingly thick that it feels overly fermented. You can tell the entire product is designed intentionally and the quality is there. It’s pricey because you actually get loads of spice for most households but I was going to reorder and if you are a fan of spice, they also now sell a 3 variety set which is about 7 dollars cheaper than buying individually and the other sauces use less spicy peppers one is 50% less spicy, the other is 90% less spicy so you can always use the 100% hottest pepper one and alternate. I would’ve bought that one if it was previously available. Also get a little more variety in flavor profiles too but yeah. Also terrific for building up spice tolerance, this stuff works like magic but you gotta start small. Even my 80 year old grandma can eat this stuff but again you will have lower the proportion for whoever's eating the stuff.

Package came about an hour ago, I ripped the box open, tore off the bubble wrap and opened the jar to reveal bright red sauce. Smelled like sour vinegar and that signature habanero-fruitiness of reaper peppers. I dipped the smallest corner of a tortilla chip in - y’all… it is delicious. Fresh and with the PERFECT AMOUNT OF SALT, don’t listen to the other people saying it’s salty! This mash is a dip/spread in its own right!!!! The consistency is so perfect, almost as if a thick salsa was puréed. Another reviewer had said they made a grilled cheese using this and it messed their stomach up, so I thought “yeah that’s a great idea, let me try that” and I proceeded to scoop instead of DIP about a teaspoonful’s worth onto chip and take a step back to assess the heat. CREEPING HEAT rose from my BELLY to my mouth, resulting in a burning sensation that literally BURNED where my tongue first came in contact for 30 mins, it was furious solid 7.5/10 burn from only that small amount. While it wasn’t bad because I had such a tiny amount, I was VERY shocked to say the least at how potent this stuff is, and how my stomach reacted to it violently before my tongue even registered any heat! This was the first pepper sauce ever to cause my body to go thru the 911-level heat-induced-reaction motions that we all know and love without feeling commensurate intense burning. I immediately ceased my sandwich making activities and gave this the respect it deserves, putting it in the fridge until later tonight when I have dinner. The heat is crazy from such a small amount, can’t get over how my body went nuts. Even though the heat is quite frankly at a very concerning level, it’s glorious, and exactly what I needed in my life. Spiceheads beware and ENJOY.. you have been officially warned, NO BS! Definitely my new favorite condiment.

This is exactly what i wanted. Well worth $20. I developed an extreme tolerance to spice probably just from hormones or development as I'm a teenager, or maybe it was covid, im not sure. I ate the carnivore diet for about a year and ate 1 lb of ground beef a day, with grass fed yogurt, and hot sauce. The problem is, i kept buying hotter and hotter hot sauce, but ive found, i hate the taste of jalapeno and serrano sauce. Most regular hot sauce isnt very hot. I bought habanero sauce, but it actually does become spicy without a good flavor. I found marie sharps nopal cactus green habanero sauce (try that its the best hot sauce ever) but that wasnt hot enough. Melindas ghost pepper has good flavor but is too spicy in large amounts to impart its flavor. I have eaten carolina reaper almonds (blue diamond) and i loved the flavor. So, i bought this. THIS, has THE flavor, and when used right, the spice is NOT like habanero, where it has that almost cold-chemical like burn that creeps up into your nose. If you dont mix, cook, or process this product in some way, youre going to have a horrible time. But let me tell you, i took a small hills pork belly, mixed this with some vinegar and soy sauce, rubbed it, then i seasoned it with salt pepper oregano and garlic, put it in the fridge on a wire rack covered with foil for a week, and my god it was the best bacon ive ever had.

Very tasty, though not nearly as hot as I was expecting. I think these magic plant reapers may not have been grown for optimal heat as I have ghost pepper sauces that feel significantly hotter than this. Still a good kick of heat and quite delicious. Also great value as this 9oz jar is about the same price as other brands 2oz jar of reaper puree. To my experienced chilehead palate I'd guess this stuff is somewhere around 500,000 scoville, instead of the 1millon+ it should be. I'm still happy with the taste and will use up this jar quickly I think.

I felt in love with this mash its delicious in food not over powering gives food and salsas a perfect kick, when added in small small quantities. When eaten the heat starts to kick slowly and its strange it gives you like waves of heat a good spicy feeling that doesn't last more than 5 min after eating. My stomach was just fine no heart burn or acid reflux and at the other end it doesn't hurt coming out one of my favorite peppers it saves you a lot of peppers to get the desire heat in foods.

I bought this to satisfy my curiosity of "How hot is the Carolina Reaper really?" Well, let me spoil that for you if you are wondering this as well. It is frankly so hot that it is merely a test of pain and discomfort. I had stomach cramps and nausea. So yes, the Carolina Reaper really is the hottest pepper. 5 stars for it being exactly what it said it was. Although, I don't think we get this stuff for the taste or the joy, we are simply curious or want to test ourselves.

Tastes great, I love the heat its not over the top hot, I will be making a chili tonight with this. Had issue with shipping and the seller fixed it right away, Thank you

Very hot but actually tates good

My husband never finds anything spicy and this was kinda spicy to him so its the closest I've got to finding something spicy for him so I definitely recommend

I can tell you it's a hundred percent reapers. I grow and make my own and it's exactly the same as I make. I'll be buying over and over between my own puree's. This will make you cry :) Very happy I recommend this spicy product
