We love this !! You only need a dash!!
A Man Who Shops –
You may want to invest in a bidet or baby wipes with this one. Delicious though!
This is hot. Like getting a lapdance in hell from the hottest person you can think of hot. Like melt your face off and then pouring it into a mould, baking it for an hour at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and then putting on your new face hot. Man, it’s a hot one… like seven inches from the midday sun, hot. (I know that last one was a little more “Smooth” than the others. You’re welcome.) I bought this originally to prank a food bandit at work, which worked really well (I mean, I’m not tampering with their food, I’m tampering with my own, and if they accidentally burn their mouth off in the process, that’s not really a problem… for me.) but I’ll never expose someone to anything without trying it myself first. Gotta say, I use it myself a lot more than I expected to. It’s pretty solid as a way to kick recipes up a notch or three, and the flavor is great too.

Best Heat to price ratio on Amazon.
Best Heat to price ratio on Amazon. You won’t get this good of a bang for your buck anywhere else. I would advise this for any Chili head.

A little bit goes a long way. Good flavor, brings the heat.

A less conventional review
I feed birds.
Unfortunately, between the bird seed bringing in mice and the dog food (for crows to keep the hawks out) bringing in rats, raccoons and possums, I needed an effective deterrent that would not affect my birds. I then remembered that chili peppers evolved that naturally; birds are not affected by capsicin, only mammals are.
I guess that I live too close to the border and a bunch of restaurants, because regular chili powder did not prevent some medium to large animal from wrecking my glass jar and taking off with a few pounds of dog food. Time to bring the big guns then.
Nothing, I left a bowl full of wet cat food on my porch during the night and nothing touched it. Alas, a stray bit of wind blew some up my nose and I felt as if I had been maced.
5/5 My birds are happy and eating. They dont have to worry as much about predators and I dont have to worry about getting raccoon roundworm. It’s a fantastic mammal deterrent. Just make sure to remember that you too are a mammal.

I like spicy food, and this does the trick. Definitely too spicy for the average person, but if you like spicy food, this will do it.
Marlboro Man –
It’s good but it’s HOT!
Fasten your seat belts for this one. It’s hot. It burns. But it’s worth it. I’ll buy another one if I survive this one.
Anonymous –
Requires very little for massive heat. Lasts a long time. Go easy the first time.
I bought this mostly to spice up random meals like soups, tacos, etc. It works fantastic for that. I was using a lot of sriracha previously which affects the flavor quite a lot. With this powder, you can add just a dash to get tons of heat without significantly altering the taste of the food.
The first time I tried it, I went pretty heavy. I was in the bathroom about 5 times later that evening. Ever since, I have been a bit more frugal with my usage, and I haven’t had that issue again. So be careful and work your way up with it. Just a little shake or two in a bowl of soup is pretty strong.

100% Carolina Reaper
This stuff is the strongest I’ve ever tasted. It’s a weapon.

Respect the heat, use caution with this chili or your in trouble.
Just what the doctor ordered. Very hot. A little goes a long way. Doesn’t change food flavor, just adds heat. Forever a big fan.
Rocco –
The hottest in the world
It’s literally the spiciest pepper I’ve ever tried in my entire life. I just added a tiny little bit and it burned me to the hell. I sweated a lot and it almost lasted for a few minutes. So, don’t ever overestimate your tolerance. This is just way too spicy than you think!
Metal Dragon –
Perfect just like their hot sauce!
If you have had the sauce…GET THIS!!!
I mixed this with pink salt a little bit of sage and put it on everything!!!! Plus, look at that art on the front! Get it! You wont be disappointed.
Sarah –
Amazing, well worth the buy!
I LOVE heat, but I’m at the point where no hot sauce or chili powder will even register to me, except this one. I put a couple shakes on everything I eat and it adds the perfect kick! It’s definitely well worth the price, I go through a bottle about every 6 months – and I haven’t had to buy any other hot sauces or powders since!
Beth –
Worth it
I would never think of eating anything 1/10 this spicy. my husband on the other hand lives for spicy food. He says the flavor is a solid 5 stars but the spiciness is 4 because he thought it would he hotter. That said I’m pretty sure this man could lick a hot poker and say it isn’t that hot.
Prairie Fox –
Superbly HOT, flavorful, fresh… and lots of it!
I’m a self-confessed pepper-head and have had a lot of quality powders and blends of the usual hottest entries (blut jalokia, scorpion, fatali etc.), but this high quality 100% Carolina Reaper powder is now my true fave. Yes, it is hot–superbly so. Even I have to be cautious and sparing with it, but what’s important is the flavor, which is on par with the heat. It’s incredibly good no matter what you use it on and I was surprised how much you get for the cost. I’ll definitely get this again when I eventually eat my way through my first purchase. Outstanding!
Peter Peconga –
Use very little
Nice & hot I love it.

Yes its hot, and has flavor
Hot Hot Hot. Has lots of flavor. Use just a little until you get used to it.

Tastes fake
I’d previously bought reaper powder from Volcanic Peppers ($$$) and hoped that this would be the same thing but cheaper. This powder tastes cheap and artificial: there is none of the flavor I associate with reaper powder. Not worth the money.
Brian –
Perfect
Crazy hot …this should last you a long time.
Marilyn C. –
Hot stuff
This stuff is amazing and really hot! Easy does it! A handful of brown sugar in a pot of chili is the perfect compliment.
Blah Blahson –
TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!
I use this stuff to spice up lots of things I cook, from spaghetti to curry, and let me tell you. Eating anything made using this stuff makes you feel like your whole gastrointestinal tract is ablaze. Interestingly, the Reaper has a delayed fuse; it takes about 10 seconds for the spice to go off, but once it does, BURNINATIOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!
Caleb Hou –
Anti rodent bomb
I got this to deter squirrels and rats from my bird feeder and it works like a charm. Even the smell of opening the bottle from a couple feet away cleared my sinuses, so this stuff will definitely take care of any rodent problem you may have. Flavor? I’ve got no idea. It’s a nuclear deterrent.
J&A –
Very hot!
The powder doesn’t add any flavor but it wasn’t designed to. It’s an easy way to add good heat to your food.

Hotter than Hell
Bought this for my husband’s Christmas stocking in 2018 and we are finally just about out of it- he’s the only one that eats it and a little bit goes a LONG way. For my husband the spicier the better and he absolutely loves this (especially on chicken wings with the Trader Joe’s Sriracha bbq sauce) I will be ordering more!

Be careful this bottle packs a punch! Great flavor
Gabriel –
This ain’t no joke. Heavy hitters only! Caution!
This stuff ain’t no joke. By far best and spiciest chili powder I have ever come across by. This is coming from a Mexican who has ate chili since 2 years old.
Adam Zimmermann –
the chili powder I was looking for
Many things claim to be “super spicy” or “world’s hottest”, but this stuff actually lives up to it.
The heat is cut down when mixed with a dairy based food, but when added directly to a dry rub or a chili it packs some serious heat.
BAKERBOY99 –
Decent chili powder
Decent stuff, the burn doesn’t last too long, but if you eat enough it will light you up.

Heat without changing the flavor of the meal!
GREAT heat with just a LITTLE shake. This’ll last me awhile, but the best part is it doesn’t change the flavor or taste of the meal. It just adds mouth watering heat to it! ??

It’s HOT
I bought this for my husband for Valentines day, and it was a big hit! Him and his friends thought it would be fun to try some right out of the canister, and they learned fast why that wasn’t a smart idea! It’s HOT! You only need a little bit to heat up any dish. Would buy again!

Enrique Palacios –
Wow, it’s definitely special, it’s aggressive but ones you tried for couple of time the fun begins
This one is a special one, i have been trying to find a good chili powder for quite some time and came across with the Carolina Reaper, I had read of it before but wow, finally you can throw away the rest of the staff that won’t satisfy you, like I said, it’s aggressive but controlable and fun. Good taste, not smoke and it feels good for a good period on you mouth. Highly recommended for people who like spice. Start with small amount and work your way up.

Reaper
I was not impressed and any other chilli head will feel the same I think . Flavor not much , heat you would think a gram or two would burn you , it didn’t put it in my palm licked it off slight burn in back of throat lasted maybe 2 minutes . WHERE’S THE HEAT I will say one thing its a better value than that liquid bottled crap and taste it don’t taste like skunk butt ..

Ad says 7 oz but it’s actually refering to price NOT quantity
Is there a valid reason for NOT posting clearly the AMOUNT? Um, it would seem so. As stated, it looks like one is getting more than you get – so – you get WAY – LESS than you’d expect.

Dont waste your money
Way overpriced for the portion and the level of heat is very exaggerated. Would not buy again at this price point. I’ve had hotter Paprika.
magicman516 –
Fantastic heat.!!!
Fantastic. A small pinch is all you need. I rub a pinch on my salmon or chicken with some other spices before putting in my air fryer. Adds just the right heat. Too much can be a very bad experience. I wear rubber gloves when dealing with this powder. But still a fantastic spice for the kitchen.

Some Like It Hot!
I like hot, spicy food….especially stir fry. I chop up cabbage, carrots, onions, bell peppers, bean sprouts, cauliflower, green beans and broccoli throw it all into an olive oiled Wok and turn the burner to high. Once everything is seeping juice I throw in some Iron Chef Orange Sauce with Ginger……and then the heat! I sprinkled a small amount of the Carolina Reaper powder into the Wok on top of the steaming mass.
This was the 1st time I tried Carolina Reaper….it did not disappoint. I could smell the Reaper’s power as I cooked, even before I tasted the stir fry I could smell the heat.
I put a heaping of my stir fry upon a small pile of sticky ( Jasmine) rice. The rice had a tiny bit of soy sauce on it but mostly I relied upon the run off from the veggies and the Carolina Reaper juice to flavor the rice.
The first bite confirmed my suspicion that this was the hottest powder I had ever tried, hotter than the Jalapeno or Habanero powder I usually cook with.
It made my left eye water, my nose started to run, my gums got numb, and my tongue started burning fiercely. The burning continued for several minutes…this powder is not for people used to the wonderful flavor and heat of simple Jalapeno powder…this is for hard core heat lovers.
I barely had to use 3-4 sprinkles of the container to make my stir fry a hell-fire-smoking-hot-volcanic-chernobyl-space ship-re-entry heat shield-inferno of a meal.
It was too hot for my wife so I had no-one to share the meal with.
I like the Carolina Reaper powder…..it’s not cheap…but nothing this extreme is cheap.

Great!
I can not eat this product, although I have not tried to. This seller has a great product. (I only know because while using, fine partials in the air felt like mace) I live in New England and mix this pepper with Vaseline and coat the metal pole the squirrels climb to empty two bird feeders at the top of the pole. It seems the squirrels would not give this product a good review. I have no or an occasional squirrel. My neighbour’s feeders looks like a scene from Gremlins! (birds don’t have hot receptors)
Andrew Withey –
Awesome hottest chilli powder ever
Wow this powder is the hottest I’ve ever experienced without the use of capsicum extract Sauces….
I initially put one small sprinkle onto a single plate of bolognese and it was A bit to much heat!…. you need half a teaspoon into a big pot of curry or chilli and that’s hot with a fiery kick, awesome will definitely buy more when it’s gone, but this may last a year or so I’m guessing
Amazing powder definitely the Hottest Powder I’ve ever experienced

It burns
After doing the one chip challenge I found I actually enjoyed the flavor of Carolina reapers. I did a taste test on this just buy wiping my finger across the top of the shaker. Had the same sensa of searing into my tongue as the one chip. Mixed reviews had me worried, and I don’t have any experience with fresh reapers, but I am completely satisfied with this purchase.
Mary Ann L Uruchurtu –
You will definitely need ice cream!
It’s definitely hot .
JEFFERY A LENGL –
Exactly as advertised, HOT!!!!!
It’s just what it says it is. In my opinion it’s too hot to have flavor. I think it would be better if the package had the option of removing the pepper by spoon instead of only through shaker holes. I made a small funnel out of paper to measure 1/4 teaspoon to add to a batch of peanut brittle. It turned out to be too much. One shake was better. I would like to be able to take a pinch from the package. Be careful, tiny particles will be in the air, so coughing is possible and in my case was certain during cleanup.
Puddleglum –
Wicked hot!!
I had this product in my “saved for later“ items in Amazon for a long time for my husband.
And then in a Twisted Sifter email I saw the video of the man who created the product so I ordered it.
And it definitely is on fire.
Gabriel Lemming –
Once you pop, that’s great!
Should’ve named it “Satan’s Rimjob” because it can be brutal takin a dump after consuming a bunch of this in a day. Pretty damn good though.
rlvlk –
Dangerous! And so good!!
The powder I usually bought is no longer on the market, so I tried this. It is great! I use it to add heat to dry foods.
I found out it is “dangerous” too. I have to mask up before adding it to any foods. It seems to get into the air and fills my nose. It doesn’t burn. I start having a sneezing fit and my nose won’t stop running. Putting a dust mask on is a small price to pay for all that great heat.

Hottest Powder I’ve Ever Had
Before I used this I put some tape on all but one of the shaker holes cause I was scared of this stuff. I used 6g of habanero powder for a recipe but with this Carolina reaper powder I only used 0.8g and it made it SPICER without compromising flavor. This stuff is amazing. It’s hot and doesn’t take much AT ALL to light you on fire. I definitely recommend this. And for the price, you use so little that this stuff will last you for quite a long while. Worth the buy
Robert Kronenwetter –
This is Not for Sissies.
This is for serious hot heads. Do not use this as a joke on someone as the heat level is straight from Hell. I use it on Mexican food quite a bit sometimes on scrambled eggs. Yes, I’ll buy it again.

Be forwarded – extremely hot!
Be forewarned, this is seriously hot! I’ve been using this to add hotness to some of my existing weaker hotsauces. It’s quite great as it doesn’t diminish the existing sauce flavor yet ads an increased hotness which is quite enjoyable.

It’s very hot but a little expensive for a small bottle 10.99 not counting tax but very,very hot your mouth will burn for at least 30 minutes before it stops with a lot of milk..

Burns going in and coming out.
It seems that when the burn of a pepper increases the layers of flavors decrease. This is great for adding just pure heat. The peppers are ground into a very fine powder, so even opening the cap can release a fine mist of weapons grade irritant. A little bit goes a long ways. Too much and you will be burning at both ends.
Anonymous –
Love it
Worth it
Stephen –
Intense heat, but that’s what this is all about.
It’s a Carolina Reaper. It’s going to give you a lot of heat and not a lot of flavor which can be good or bad depending on how you view it, but it certainly serves its purpose. Good powder, nice design cover, and decent enough shaker.
bowman –
The real Deal
I have never tried this potent of a pepper powder. There is no doubt this chet is super hot. I put a few grains on the tip of my finger and , Look out. No doubt its the real deal. but flavor is another story. I wasn’t feeling it on the flavor.

Sauces no longer required for the heat.
I bought this over a year ago and put it on just about everything. The beauty of this product is that with small amounts you can greatly increase the heat of your food without sacrificing any of the flavor. I use to use all types of hot sauces but I was sick of the flavor of the dish being affected. This is my go to for anything to do with spice. It is very hot
JBrown –
The EXACT spice you are looking for!!! 20/10!
I LOVE THIS STUFF. I have been putting it on everything. It’s spicy and it doesn’t really have like… a flavor?? It’s just spicy as h*** and really brings a good kick to anything you eat! I put it on my bagel with cream cheese in the morning, my chips, my soups, my rice… Literally everything. You only need a tiny bit which is nice because it will last a while! I have shared it with multiple people, too, and they really enjoy it. Beware though, if you use too much it stays with you. Also don’t inhale it like I did, cause that will make you sneeze until the end of time. Highly recommend! Will be buying this stuff again.

I’ve ordered every version of Reaper Chilis (dehydrated to powder), and this one is as hot as it gets. Great for wings, salsa, beef jerky, fire nuts, blackened fish, chicken, steak- and anything else you dare modify. Heat is an addiction, and I’m addicted to heat.

As hot as a fresh pepper in my opinion!😅
I waited to try this so I could compare it to a fresh home grown reaper pepper. This stuff is just as hot if not hotter in my opinion. I think the mouth burn on the powder is more intense but throat burn is worse fresh. It’s definitely hot if you take as much as I did and I eat spicy s**t ever day. I recommend taking a little for your first taste test or it will make you panic a little lol

No flavor. All heat. It takes about a minute to kick in with just a small dash. Some serious heat. Looking forward to covering some wings in it with the boys.
Rotten Apples –
I love this stuff!
I keep this on the table with the salt and pepper. It is a great way to add kick to soups, chili, or gumbo. It comes in a shaker so you can add a little heat to anything you want. Be Careful! A heavy pour is really going to light you up. I find it a great way to add heat without the sugars/corn syrup and vinegar associated with hot sauces.
Polanski Morgan –

Chilehead Craig –
Chilehead Approved!
I am always looking for something I can keep at my desk at work for lunch and a good dry spice is an easy one. I saw this one on Amazon, the price and the slightly cheesy label and didn’t think much of it. After reading some reviews, I thought again and ordered it.
WOW, it packs a punch! As others have said, a little goes a long way! It doesn’t have much flavor, but is pure heat. This will last me a long time and I hope he’s still making it when I need another. If you like it HOT, try it!
To those that say it wasn’t hot at all. Maybe it was a bad batch of peppers? I have had Blairs Death Rain Nitro powder several times and its hotter than that.
Scott Sowell –
Not good at all
No
ztennyson –
Freakin awesome!!
Bought as a prank to play on a coworker, but ended up in love with it. Make no mistake; it’s hot. Like the devil’s bellybutton hot. But it’s real good. Fruity, savory, and plain delicious. However, be advised that the Indian army uses this for their tear gas. So, whatever you put it on will be hot as crap and yummy, but you’ll feel as if you’re having something amazing while getting maced, which is sort of the point. And don’t touch anything remotely sensitive including your hoo-hah for about 24 hours. I love it.

This is pretty warm . Hotter than Habenero by far . However it very bland no flavor , just packs on the heat . If you’re looking for flavor , this amongst the worst of the worst , no flavor period . But gave 1 star for flavor , 5 stars for a heck of a punch for heat .

HOTTER THAN HOTEST
Carolina Reaper is the hottest spice that I know of. it has over 2 million scovil units of heat rating. I bought it to supplement my orders of Thai food. It works fantastic. I think it’s wise to sprinkle the tiniest bit you can on your palm and lick it to experience the heat. This is a university-researched hybred of ghost pepper and another pepper. DON NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE AFTER USING THIS SPICE!

Super hot
This powder is extremely hot. The bottle I bought arrived cracked so some of the powder was in the envelope. Just opening the envelope made me cough and made my eyes burn. The cracked bottle was replaced at no charge. I add just a few sprinkles to a bowl of chili to make it extra spicy.

Carolina Reaper Chili: How to Squirrel Proof your Bird Feeder.
Tobasco Sauce and Cayenne Pepper does not work. Red Chili Flakes do not work. Mint oil does not work. Squirrels keep coming back and dissemate your bird feed. Squirrels are curious, persistent problem solvers and if they want your bird feed they are going to get it. After endless internet searches and trying all sorts of methods for keeping squirrels away from my bird food I have figured out a solution.
Remember, squirrels and deer have tongues and are sensitive to chilis. Birds do not have tongues and are not affected by chilis.
I have used this solution for whole peanuts in the shell and for striped sunflower seed.
1. In a tupperware container add desired amount of bird feed.
2. Lightly sprinkle a few drops food grade oil to your bird feed. (I use both olive and canola oil.)
3. Shake bird feed in sealed tupperware vigorously to coat bird feed with oil.
4. Now for the good part – Sprinkle “Carolina Reaper Powder” over bird feed.
5. Shake bird feed in sealed tupperware until chili powder is dusted evenly over bird feed. (Add more oil, if necessary, for powder to stick.)
6. Feed your birds.
Observations and Suggestions:
Carolina Reaper Chilis are the hottest chilis in the world so be careful. Wash your hands after this process and “DO NOT RUB YOUR EYES” with your hands or fingers.
My goal is to deter squirrels without harming them. I’ve read accounts of squirrels clawing their eyes out with similar methods so proceed with caution. The amount of chili powder that’s needed will be trial and error. My method is after I’ve sprinkled my whole peanuts with the chili powder I a put a peanut in my own mouth to gage its effectiveness. (Of course, with a large glass of milk nearby.) Not much of the Carolina Reaper Powder is needed to create an intolerable heat. This makes using the powder fairly cost effective.
I was excited to see what would happen with the squirrels. Several squirrels would eat my peanuts in minutes and leave nothing for my blue jays, grackles, woodpeckers, or cardinals. They would watch me from afar and as soon as I would put my bird feed out they would pounce. So here is what happened when I dusted my peanuts with the Chili Reaper Powder…
The squirrels cavalierly came prancing up to my peanut feeder, giving me the evil eye, of course. A wry smile came upon my face. Then the alpha squirrel took the first peanut as always. Almost immediately I could see a puzzled look on his face. Then he dropped the peanut and and shook his head violently as he ran as fast as he could. The other squirrels got scared and followed. Was I bit worried that I might have harmed the squirrel? Sure I was but only time would tell. It was early evening when I first used this chili method so I did not see the squirrels for the rest of the evening. Even the birds were put off by what they had seen and did not eat any peanuts for the rest of that evening.
The next morning, however, all of my peanuts were gone. I could tell they were eaten by birds and not by squirrels because the squirrels always discard the shells nearby. There were no shells to be seen. Even so, the squirrels came back the next afternoon. I was glad to see that the alpha squirrel had not clawed his eyes out. This time, however, he was far more cautious. I could see him on top of the peanuts sniffing the chili powder, trying to decide whether or not to take another peanut. He did not. His partner then had her turn. She too sniffed the peanuts and walked away.
Then there were a couple of squirrels I had not seen before. They immediately took the peanuts in their mouth and just like the first squirrel violently reacted to the chili powder, dropped the peanuts and ran away. So far, so good! My method is working. I hope this method will work for you too. Please, try and it out and report your findings here. I am also curious to see if this will work with deer.
Good luck.
Update: April 18th, 2020.
I have been using Wicked Reaper for 7 months now to deter the squirrels. I sprinkle the powder onto my whole peanuts almost every day and this little jar has lasted this long. I am thrilled.
Every once in a while I will see how long it takes for the squirrels come back when I don’t use the powder. Two days is the maximum and when the squirrels do come back they decimate the un-Wicked peanuts in minutes. What this tells me is that the squirrels always have their eyes and, most importantly, their noses on the lookout. They are constantly on survelleince. (Smart little buggers.) Sometimes I see them come around and from about 3 feet away the squirrels sniff the air. They can always smell the Wicked Reaper powder and then they run away.
I’ve learned how much powder to sprinkle on my peanuts so that it is barely enough to deter the squirrels. Every once in awhile a hungry squirrel will snatch a peanut but that’s O.K. with me. I actually like squirrels and think they are adorable. My only issue was that I was putting out the peanuts for the blue jays and the squirrels were eating them like hotcakes and not leaving anything for the birds. Now the birds are happy and occasionally a squirrel will get a peanut too. All is well in the Garden of Eden thanks to Wicked Reaper Carolina Reaper Chili Pepper.

Good Lord Baby Jesus!
As an avid lover of spicy food I can assure you that this powder is FUEGO!! My first use of this was on top of some good old spaghetti and meatballs and boy let me tell you it was divine! Half way into the bowl I broke out in a sweat full on endorphins pumping and a pile of napkins at my side as I tried to contain my runny nose. Overall I really enjoy the heat and kick it brings to anything you sprinkle it on, definitely plan on repurchasing. 10/10 would recommend to any masochists out there.

The Real Deal
If you’re looking for hot, look no further. This stuff is the real deal. It will knock a spark out of your butt 🙂 I used this in 5 lbs. of taco meat, 2 measured teaspoons to be exact and I’m glad I didn’t use anymore than that. Probably would have been too much. At $11 some may balk at the price but it was worth every penny.

Removes wrinkes/bags under the eyes
Great for bags under the eyes, just make a paste with a little water and rub under eyes. I have heard that it helps prevent wrinkles and promotes natural tears and a high pitched vocal octive range almost instantly. Best applied when you are over tired after a long exhausting day of work and exercise. It will effectively take all your previous problems and worries you might have and roll them all up for you, you will completely forget Anything that was bothering you and step off into a world unlike anything you have experienced before. Once you try this, you will shout, cry, jump around and discover what life is really about. Apply 1 to 2 times a day for 6 weeks, you’ll be horrifically awakened to reality in a way you never thought possible. 🙂

Cream of the (Capscacin) Crop
Lasting tropical fruitiness. Sadistic, punishing heat. Everything good about a hot-af pepper is found in this powder. I recently traveled to New England from Arizona and discovered that the food there is fundamentally broken. This fixed it. Now that I’m back home, this still goes on damn near everything. This is probably the first powder I have to be careful with and likely the only powder I will continue to buy. Please don’t ever change – this is gold!

It’s HOT and has a great flavor! Has a long lasting heat to it. It does not take very much in anything you make with it for it to rock your world so use it sparingly. Up for the next challenge, adding half of a tablespoon to a batter of chocolate cupcakes, sweet and spicey!

Great bang for the buck
I like Cayenne pepper a lot in a lot of things. The stuff from grocery stores is ok but not all it should be. I bought some here and it was far more spicy so I thought I would branch out and try this powder after many good reviews that I read. And sure enough it really delivered. I took a very small amount sprinkled into my hand and put it in a nice bowl of Manhattan clam chowder (or chowda if you like). Probably about a 1/4 the amount that I would use of Cayenne and it gave a really nice level of heat. I would be scared to shake this stuff just free form into any food because a touch too much and you are going to be on fire. Can’t wait for my heat loving friends next visit so i can sneak this into something and make him feel the heat. I now have my 3 levels of Cayenne, Habanero, and Carolina Reaper powders to suit all occasions.
Theodore Donovan –
Exactly what you’d expect
Excellent product if you like spice. I tried a tiny bit on a wet toothpick to gauge its hotness. It’s what you’d expect if you’ve ever had Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper powder. I gradually added more and more to some hot sauce, and finally dumped a quarter sized pile into it. It’ll definitely set your lips ablaze and make your nose run. Exactly what I wanted. Be careful.

It’s so-so. Not as hot as anticipated
I bought this product thinking it would be great for my husband. He was raised on spicy food and nothing I prepare for him is quite hot enough for him. I was going to use this to spice up his dishes. We excitedly test drove it as soon as we received it with tacos as a previous reviewer suggested. I used a mix of Sazon and reaper.
Beautiful spicy taste that is definitely unique and cannot he replicated, BUT it wasn’t any hotter than jalapeños. I’m highly disappointed.
There is a chance that I didn’t use ENOUGH of the spice (but from the heat scale and previous comments I thought being kind to our bodies was a better start) but still should have been enough to give it more of a kick than it did. We both handled it too well & im not a fan of super spicy.
I’ll update if it changes.

Pain relieving gel got a BIG kick and works great!!
There is no way I’m going to be quaffing this stuff. I’m not ready to die from anaphylactic shock of sort. But I do have chronic muscle pain. cool ice hot ice and such just don’t do much. And doctor “prescribed stuff” doesn’t do much either.
So I added a small smidgen of the powder into my gel. Mixed it well and applied to the area of pain. Muscle pain is replaced by burning sensation of the pepper. MUCH BETTER!! Actually the burning sensation is more of a hot feeling and quite pleasant. Works fantastic for arthritis or other joint problem.
Heck of a lot better $$ wise and heck of a lot better in dealing with chronic muscle pain.

This stuff is the real deal. Upon opening, I got about 20 specks of this stuff on my thumb. I shook off my hand over the kitchen sink. I looked at my thumb again and there were only a few grains left. I licked my thumb and felt the burn within five seconds.
This is going to be great for my fiery candied pecans!

Amazing!!! Just absolutely amazing!!! I am always on the hunt for hot and nothing is ever hot enough for me. I add habenero to everything, then my fingers don’t easily wash the spice away and I’ve been known to have a burning contact. This avoids all that. Sprinkle a bit for the most amazing flavor. (I add it to take out Chines and instantly becomes 5star cuisine). Want kick….sprinkle alot. Not hot enough….put more! I ate the one chip challenge and didn’t flinch. I over sprinkled this in my salsa and headed straight for the milk. Please never go out of business and may I suggest making little travel/Togo packets?

Not 100% Reaper, Not as hot as expected
The critical reviews aren’t wrong. This is not hotter than habanero pepper powder and reminded me of a kicked up cayenne on first try. It comes nowhere close to Trader Joe’s dried Ghost Pepper flakes and is closer to some of the Ass Kiicken’ Hot Salts. I buy a lot of spicy stuff and did a side by side taste test before writing this review, Reaper powder was a let down. It may be repackaged $3 Cayenne? Buyer Beware.

made me cry at first
wicked hot at first. two weeks later not crying much any more — not sure if oxidation has killed the hot chemicals, my tolerance has gone up, or if life has beaten me down recently such that the hotness phases me less. Anyhow, still enjoyable, despite less crying since I first set tastebuds on it. Will buy again

This will put some hair on your chest. This makes ground cayenne pepper taste like sugar. I cook with it often and moderation is key. The right amount adds plenty of spice while still bringing out the flavor of everything else. My new favorite.

NOT HOT AT ALL
Eh. I wanted a punch me in the face, “one chip challenge” , life changing experience. What I got was habanero level heat that I could’ve gotten with a red hab.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s hot, but a fraction of the 2,000,000 Scoville I expected.
Save your money and get 2 red habaneros and you’ll get heat with more flavor.
Save your money and buy Dave’s Insanity or ghost pepper 10 times as hot and cheaper

Ice cube on your tongue hot!
This stuff is HOT! I pride myself in telling people that nothing is too hot for me, but when I got this, I sprinkled some on my hand and put the top of my tongue in it. I honestly had to go to the freezer and put an ice cube on my tongue (while my wife laughed). The flavor is a little bitter, like reapers usually are, but I’m really enjoying this stuff. The holes in the sprinkle top are a bit big, so you have to be really careful. When used properly, adds just the kick I’m looking for.

This is hot….
This is a very in your face immediate heat that loves to affect the front of your mouth and lips. It does not take much at all to feel the effects and the more thats on it, the hotter it gets. I find this powder great in helping you to build up your heat tolerance. You can apply just a little to start then work your way to higher and higher amounts. This is a different type of heat then say an hot sauce made with extract. I find those to be much harsher with a completely different kind of burn.
As for flavor, I dont really get much of a flavor at all out of this powder. It has a very distinctive smell though, but taste wise, not much at all.

Easily the best amazon purchase I’ve ever made.
I feel obligated to say that this is the best amazon purchase I’ve ever made. I love spicy food but good spicy food is difficult to make I feel like.
Jalapeños taste good but in order to make something spicy enough, you have to use a lot and the jalapeño taste just completely takes over.
I really don’t like the taste of habanero peppers so although it’s hot, they don’t taste very good in my opinion. Same with Ghost peppers. I just don’t like the flavor.
So this reaper pepper seasoning, is so damn hot, that you barely have to even put a pinch of it in your food. I probably put like 30 grains of this in my ramen and it was amazing.
Because you barely add anything at all, you get nothing but the heat which is awesome because your food actually retains its own flavors.
I’m just so happy right now. This stuff is amazing and anyone who loves spicy food should try it out. It was like $14 on Amazon.
I should add that I’ve only eaten one thing with this stuff on it. I’m sure this is extremely painful if you accidentally add too much. You’re literally playing with fire haha. But that is my review.

Anyone who says this is not hot is lying
Some people like hot. Some are scared of it and refuse to try.
Since I regularly put habaneros and ghost peppers on sandwiches and in mac&cheese, I thought this would be a good addition to the spice rack.
I poured a little in my hand (less than 1/4 teaspoon), and on to my tongue from there. Hmm. Good flavor. Tastes like fresh habaneros.
Wait for it…
10 seconds later: Ok, it’s getting hot.
10 seconds more: It’s really hot, and my throat feels it too. Wow!
About 30 seconds in, I’m really feeling it. My tongue and throat are burning.
That sensation didn’t go away for several minutes (maybe 10-15), and I eventually went to get some water (yes, I know milk soothes the burning, but it wasn’t needed).
Since that 1st taste, I have had it a few more times. Endorphins rush each time, and it’s super hot.
I even put it in my soup, and learned that it also makes your lips burn and the skin in the area around them turn red.
So yes – this is HOT STUFF! Don’t be fooled by the haters!

Way worse on the way out. I gave one to my friend and he loved it too. I’ve grown the reaper peppers too and this is pretty darn close to the hotness of a fresh pepper. It goes well in any food I’ve tried it in. My favorite is adding to corn beef hash with eggs for a yummy breakfast.

HAWT…very hot
Well I sprinkled this on a plate and dipped apple slices in it and it is hot that is for sure however honestly I question if it’s truly 100% pure because I was able to eat more than expected and it seems like I’ve had hotter ghost pepper salt, either way it’s good and worth the money and the flavor actually is pretty tasty… just not sure I believe it’s not mixed heavily with other peppers ……

The real deal.
Wow! Just wow. This Carolina Reaper powder is the real deal! It is unlike any other chili powders and only takes the smallest bit to light up your mouth and clear your sinuses. The quality of product is fantastic as is there quantity of powder for the price. If you are looking for something new to liven up spicy foods look no further!

Hot hot hot!! Not ??% reaper per the ingredient list.
This is spicy??????!! It has that crisp pepper taste that kind of gets lost in sauces. They also sent a bottle of their bhut kisser sauce as an add on!

Stings like a scorpion bite.
Take it from an Indian who loves spices – this one is ‘damn, screaming , potential fire out of your behind’ kinda hot. I put about 5 particles of this using my pinky directly on my tongue – I was sweating within seconds and my tongue went numb for about 10-15 mins. This is an execellant addition to wing sauce and unless you want to hospitalise someone, be careful about the amount you put in. This container will last a looong time and I will definitely buy once its over!

Hot, Hot-HOT!
I started with a light shake on a quarter cup of bourbon sauce on chicken wings. O.K. but not hot enough. Today I’m marinating chicken legs and put a “generous” shake of “Grim Reaper” in 3/8 cup of bourbon sauce. I’m taking it easy, because in shaking the G.R. into my homemade B.S., I “breathed” in some residue. “Managia” that stuff is hot! It affected my breathing while hanging over the sink to wash the bowl I use to mix it. Will make this for supper. Thought for the day: I will try using Aleppo pepper with G.R. to see if the AP flavor comes through next time.

Hot but good
Awesome seasoning. Great if you like a lot of heat. Hot but it’s expected to be hot
chase cain –
Hot as balls. smells and tastes great.
Opened container and noticed the smell is fantastic almost like a sweet flower scent. Proceeded to lick the end of a toothpick and touched just the surface of the powder. It tasted delicious for 5 seconds, and then I spontaneously ignited into flames.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
10/10 would burn again.
Talbert Pope –
Buy this powder and you will not be disappointed
Best hot pepper in the world IMO!!!! As hot (or hotter)than you want it to be but the flavor is unmatched. Be very careful and start with a little dash in a lot of food cause the heat will slowly creep up on you and linger for a while but if you like the heat this powder is perfect cause you can control how hot it gets. Love it A+++

It will make you cry.
Got it 2 days early & this stuff is fire I would only suggest putting a very tiny amount on your food. If you think the ghost pepper is bad this really kicks in so much faster, very intense. Crying, sweating, stomach pains are all to be expected when eating this. I took a tea spoon full and personally will never attempt such savagery in my life again.

Agonizingly hot. No matter how little you use, it’s too much. Does not subside with breads and/or milk. Excellent ant or aunt repellant!
Janos –
If you’re looking for SERIOUS heat, this is the sruff!
There’s no question this is exactly as advertised! This stuff packs one hell of a punch and you DO NOT need much for it to do the trick. A light sprinkle is all you need. One observation though is, at least from what I’ve noticed you mainly get the heat without really much of the taste. I’ll admit though it could be how I’ve used it so far – I’ve never used this before. The ghost chili pepper powder that I have is HOT but also has a smokey taste that I like. Overall though, no complaints at all! This stuff is NOT for the faint of heart!

Adds a Great Combo of Heat and Flavor
I put a few shakes of this pepper in some pot roast which ended up giving it the same heat range of Tabasco sauce. But what amazed me was the flavor it offered. Usually even when I put hot sauce or hot pepper powder in my soup or other foods I still need to add both salt and pepper. Not with this stuff. Very impressive. I will be sure to order more whenever I run out.

I am a Chile Head, and love this product. Has good flavor and a good kick. For those of you not used to really hot pepper, I would test this first. I put a dab on my tongue and wow. Then about 3 minutes later….bang. Hit me like a ton of bricks. I am going to enjoy cooking with this. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates hot pepper spice.

Heat just right

jenesaiquoi –
I Like It A Lot
This is legit extreme hot pepper. Is it Reaper? Who knows, but it very well could be. I’ve had it a few weeks and it will definitely boost the heat of whatever you’re cooking. I make my own hot sauces and my peppers weren’t quite hot enough from the garden this year. A 1/8 teaspoon of this mixed in when I open a new jar of sauce, and it gives the sauce just the right amount of kick. I’m going to buy new seeds for next year, but this Reaper powder saved the sauce that I put up (around 20 pints). It’s a great value considering what it takes to make a jar of it. I will say that it loses a little heat once it’s been opened awhile, but that happens with all hot peppers. It’s still plenty hot, and you have to respect it or it’ll get you.

Not even close
Don’t know if I got a mislabeled bottle or if they used filler. but there is NO WAY this is 100% pure Carolina Reaper. Don’t get me wrong, its spicy. But habanero spicy. I have bought a couple of different brands of Carolina Reaper powder and this doesn’t even come close to it.

Exactly as expected. It was hot but I’m a man of spice so adding a pinch into my recipes never seems to not please me.

Really Brings the Heat!
No matter how high your spicy tolerance level is this chili powder brings the fire! Does no one else like the meal as spicy as you? So you tone down the heat and make a bland dinner, but with this secret weapon you can sprinkle just a dash (and I’m warning you: use just a dash) on your serving and you’ll be reaching for something to quench the explosion in your mouth.
And it tastes good.

It’s hot but not what you’d expect.
I love spicy food and trying different spices.
Carolina Reaper was among the least flavorful super hot peppers I’ve tried its like a cayenne pepper in flavor and mouth kick.
The real kick is the lingering heat as well as the heartburn/stomach heat. That portion of the burn is by far the most intense of any processed pepper I’ve come across.
I’d described this one as good lingering heat / chest heat. Not much flavor as far as adding anything to a dish (good for some dishes). Best when used on flavorful foods missing spice.

I bought this as a gag joke for work and it fulfilled its intended purpose. However, we started putting it on everything from peanuts to pizza and the flavor is just excellent! It’s just a wonderful spice that is priced very nicely. Buying a second bottle for home!

Love this stuff!!!!
I mainly eat my food with the Ghost Pepper powder from the same company. The Carolina Reaper is great in a jar of pickles. Just add a 1/2 tsp and enjoy. The longer they sit the hotter they are.
SteeITaco –
Maybe it’s me.
This is what I considered my “Go To” for extra heat on just about everything. I’m on what I belive my third shaker and either my tolerance has went way up or this batch is a bit underwhelming. Still warm but I like heat without a vinegar or chemical taste and this go around was a bit unimpressive. It could be my tolerance has gotten higher however.

Just a tiny dash!!
I sprinkled a tiny amount into a cheeseburger, oh wow…WOW, A little DEFINITELY goes a long way. This product is tasty and sweat inducing!! (January 2019)
Edit: One year later I ran out a week ago and just got a new bottle in the mail, And it’s somehow a little bit hotter than the last bottle! I’ve bought three bottles in two years and I still love it!!!!

This stuff is just the best. Favorite seasoning bar none. Spicy, fragrant, great in any number of types of cuisine, really does not need a lot to get the kick, and can simply be cranked up if I want to sweat bullets with a good Thai curry. I will be buying this by the crate-full along with this companies other pepper powders
Kamdin Gutierrez –
Fantastic
I’ve bought three different Carolina Reaper Powders from three different sellers, this is the third. This is the only one that has the heat I think it should. The others were hot but no more so than a poor Ghost Pepper Powder. I was looking for proper heat without having to use a ton of an expensive product, this covered both bases, something the others could not. This was the cheapest option with the biggest kick.
Erica Ivy –
Mama Mia! That’s a spicy meat a ball
It’s hard to trust hot sauce and hot chili powders these days. I call them WonderBra sauces – looks so promising, but discard the packaging and there is disappointment in store. Pictures of dragons, fire, skeletons, radioactive symbols… and yet the reality is more like a candle. I guess a candle is hot, but I want to feel the fires of hell when I see the devil on the package.
As the official Beer Spot & Grill Super Sunday Hot Wing Challenge Champion 2018, you must agree that I am indisputably well-placed to assess the heat of this particular powder.
The packaging features the grim reaper – a reference to the pure Carolina Reaper peppers contained therein. Upon sampling the powder, it was not the icy grip of death that I encountered, but a heat the likes of which I had never previously encountered from a chili powder. It was like french kissing Dhalsim as he performed the Yoga Flame.
A little mixed into my chicken and rice lunch added a major kick. Be very cautious with the volume you add, these guys aren’t messing around.
Theodore L. –
A little goes a long way
Warning: do not use this powder with a heavy hand. ????????????
David Winter –
Potent and painful, use responsibly!
A tiny tap on the bottle spices an entire plate with heat and flavor. Use responsibly, more than 1/4 of a teaspoon is WAY too much.
Matt Johnson –
Fear the Reaper!
After doing several extreme heat challenges, I decided I needed some Reaper in my daily life as a means of taking my every day foods to the level of insanity. I purchased this powder as an addition to my regular seasonings, and the flames my tongue experienced did not disappoint! I use this on pizza, in chili, anywhere you would usually use regular chili powder as a replacement. The difference is, the intense heat kicks everything up to 10. Great product! I’ll definitely buy again!

Great flavor. I have high blood pressure and need to cut back on my sodium intake from all the hot sauce I use.

Will definitely reorder.

Amazon Prince –
This is amazing! This is my first time buying California Reaper Chilli powder so I cannot say if this is actually the Reaper but I know it is very good. First thing I did was smell it and it has a delicious, fresh tangy fruity smell. Next, I used a tiny amount, just a sprinkle, on my freekeh & beans and it was HOT! I do believe this is the real deal because of how hot it was compared to the tiny amount that I used. Definitely recommend.

DonSanAnto –
Beware, the Reaper cometh…
It’s HOT, very HOT, just the way I like it; however, one should tread lightly with this wicked powder. Whenever I sprinkle other spice powders I simply shake the container vigorously over the dish but not with this puppy –I highly recommend shaking gingerly and try to count the powder specks…
I used some on an avocado half, some homemade soup and on some ‘barbacoa’ (beef) tacos and the Reaper is a good compliment but not meant to be used generously unless one if fond of breathlessness or gastrointestinal malfunctions.
I recommend the buyer to first taste it by first licking one’s index finger and sprinkling a bit of powder on it and then licking it off a bit at a time. I also having a glass of water nearby just in case.
I eat and cook with Serrano peppers all the time ’cause Jalapeños are too mild but I already know I won’t ever eat/cook with Reapers on the same scale.

Ever since I completely owned the One Chip Challenge (no milk or other heat remedy needed) I’ve been excited to experience that same level of heat again. This powder is it.

I’m a spice freak that can’t ever get enough. I like this because it is versitle enough to add to things when sometimes you don’t want to add a “hot sauce” per se to spice things up.
I had a sandwich from my local deli the other day that came with a side of macaroni salad. I added a couple shakes of this ground up Carolina reaper to it and it was the best Mac salad I’ve ever had.

Will be purchasing again and again. Love the flavor and the heat!
This is the real deal. The description says 1.5 oz. but the jar I got is 2 oz. I’m not complaining about getting more because this is great stuff. Very good flavor too. I love ghost peppers and make my own puree with them to get really hot sauce. This stuff leaves ghost pepper in the dust! Be careful with it. Burns for a while. Heat builds up too. I put about 1/8 teaspoon in a big bowl of chili that was mild. The first bite had awesome flavor. I was sweating by the end of the bowl. The heat stays a good 10 minutes and then starts to fade. Reaper is supposed to be about 2 times the heat of ghost, and I would say that’s right where I put this. Friends tried it and bought their own.
Lucas Kirby –
10 dollars for this bottle will last you years! Amazing!
Oh, my hell! Not only is it the hottest powder I’ve put on anything in my life, but it actually has a pleasant smell and I really like the taste. I put hot things on just about every meal if it’s appropriate. I have no doubt that I’ll get 10 years out of this bottle if I do so. I’m not exaggerating. It’s unbelievably potent.

As a person who loves spice to a point of excess/pain, this is perfect. This is one of the few hot-related things where I have to limit myself from having too much. It really brings out the flavors of any food I sprinkle it on, my favorites being mexican, chili, and italian… But it can really replace or be added to any dish you’d put regular pepper on.

Good taste, just less than what i expected for heat.
Not really good at explaining it, but it isnt as hot as a expected after 2 meals with it. Still leaves a little tingle in the mouth, but i pair it with ghost pepper salsa and that burns quite a bit. i will say, i am fairly used to habanero to ghost pepper, i wanted to try and expand upwards. so you know the context of me saying it lacked heat.

Description misleading!!
This is not very hot!!! I bought this to replace my smokin edds reaper powder. Ed’s appears to be out. To get the same burn i use about 4 times more of this milder stuff then i do Edd’s. Now with that said the flavor is good and it’s easy enough to add more. I would have given 5 stars but i hate misleading descriptions.

VERY hot stuff without the chemical taste
This stuff is REALLY hot, but it doesn’t have that “chemical taste” of some hot spices. It’s delicious in the right proportions.
I make a standard egg and sausage casserole with a dozen eggs and a pound of ground sausage (maple sausage) and along with the other ingredients, I use 1/8 teaspoon of this pepper. That’s right … a dozen eggs and sausage and I add only 1/8 teaspoon of this stuff. And that amount is just fine to season the entire casserole. It’s not fiery hot, of course, but even that small amount is adequate to season that whole casserole.
Of course, more can be added if you want to make a “joke” or a “challenge” dish, but in small amounts, this can be a fine seasoning and a great addition to casseroles, stews, chili, etc.

Good taste, some heat, but not too hot if you’re used to heat.
I like the taste. I’ve brought this to work and have been pouring it on everything. It’s almost gone now, so I’ll need another soon. It gives me some burn, but I wouldn’t really call it hot. If you’re not a pepperhead, you’ll probably cry, but for those of us who regularly have reaper-based sauces, it’s just a nice little burn for when you’re not near the good stuff. Goes really well mixed with mustard.

Fantastically spicy,
Real deal, as you can imagine a little goes a long way, put this on your nachos, and it’s fantastic for tolerance building, I put this on all of my food now, love the taste, I grow caroling reapers at home so I can tell you this is definetly real and great at adding an extra spike to home made hot sauce

Really Awesome!
I rarely write reviews, but really like this stuff. Hotness wise it beats the Habanero options (many of which I like) that are out there. I also really like the flavor. I’ve tried scorpion and just didn’t like the flavor – but this was a complete win from first taste. Taste is of course a personal preference, but I was just surprised how much I liked it and wanted to give them a very positive review!

Great smoky, spicy heat flavor when a hot sauce just won’t do!
Excellent product and has that great smoky, spicy flavor and of course the serious heat of the Carolina Reaper pepper. I use this on foods where a hot sauce wouldn’t really work. You get more pure pepper flavor that most hot sauces in my opinion. Its great in salsas, chili, hot dogs and sausages, anything Mexican, bleu cheese dressing on salads, wings, fish, and all kinds of sauces like aiolis or even for a slight kick to beurre noir, or vinaigrettes. Use very, very sparingly until you build up a heat tolerance or it WILL bite you.
Please don’t use this on animals. Cayenne is bad enough for them, (and works just fine), as this is a whole different level of pain for any animal, human or otherwise. Be kind.

Fast Non-prime shipping and an amazing flavor from this pepper.
The flavor of this is amazing. It just smells wonderful. I haven’t tested the heat straight up, but I find I can tolerate it very well. I sprinkled a modest amount in a soup and it added a wonderful kick. I would have had to add about 3x as much ghost chili pepper to get the same heat level, and that would have made the soup only taste like ghost chili pepper.
Reason I mention the heat is that I felt the jump between ghost chili pepper and this would be too much. I know tolerance is very user dependent. But for those of you who love ghost chili pepper or something comparable, then you shouldn’t fear trying this out. This is not something you just take for the macho-ness of it. Like I said, the flavor is just great.
The bottle is kinda cheapish, so I put it in a clean, empty spice bottle that is much more durable. I’m not knocking anything off for a bottle that is fully functional.
The shipping was fast. I didn’t have Prime shipping available for this product, but it still came within a couple days. No guarantee for other buyers, but the sellers are certainly compentant at moving their product.
Edit: March 28, 2017, this has heat!

Spice Snob Approved
First off I love spice in everything so I consider myself a spice snob of sorts. But liking my food spicy doesn’t mean I’m picking products to try to win some sort of competition on spice level. I actually like spices to have lots of heat but not just make you burn. This spice for me is a perfect spice level to enhance all of your favorite foods. I actually have a container of this in my car and anytime I am out at a restaurant I bring this with me. It has way more flavor and heat that you will find with the typical siracha (rooster) stuff you get at all the Asian restaurants. It’s way hotter and more flavorful than that Cholula hot sauce from Mexico. I also like that you can add more than a sprinkle and it will not ruin your dish. It definitely is not as hot as the bhut Jolokia powders out there but I like the flavor much better. It also will last you a while (unless you a major pepper fanatic) so it’s actually a good value for the amount of uses you will get. Best in soups and stews but it goes with everything. I’ve even sprinkled it on a salad and it tastes great.

I really like this shake. I have recently ran out of Blairs death rain and because they do not make it anymore, have been trying to find something comparable to the same heat and taste. This has not disappointed I am a person that uses Daves Insanity for breakfast and knows the value of a good tasting pepper in any form. This dry form of Carolina Reaper has given me some good insight as to what the actual pepper taste like. YES, I havn`t actually tasted Carolina Reaper off the vine. I live in “unfortunately” Indiana where we do not have anything grown or delivered but cayenne jalapeno or fortunately habanero.Never the less I have grown my own Ghost peppers. This makes the cut for sure!!!

This stuff made me cry….
This stuff made me cry, not because it was hot, but because it wasn’t. I poured this stuff on jalapenos to mild them down. Exaggeration aside I tried a few specs at first. I could taste it but wasn’t hot so I stepped it up to a pinch and still very mild. I then poured some in hot water hoping I could draw as much spice as possible out of it. Made a concentrated paste from it. I ended up unfortunately disappointed. I compared it to a jalapeno and the jalapeno was definitely hotter. To bad it doesn’t have a good taste either. I believe I got ripped off with a mild chili powder instead of Carolina reaper powder.

This is great and hot. Did I mention hot? Well it is. I purchased this Reaper three times.The first time was a shock of how hot it is. I dared everyone to try while laughed my bass off . The second purchase was not as hot as last time, like some of the other reviews. But still hotter than most other things. Maybe the blend was older, I do not know. But you can rest assured my third purchase was hot as hell. I am used to the Carolina pepper now, I can even drink lava and eat burning wood simultaneously now.

This pepper is hot. however it’s nowhere near hot enough to be called Carolina reaper. I have ghost pepper that’s three times as hot as this one I expected way more from this this product. whoever wrote this is like hot lava is hundred percent wrong and never tried the real reaper pepper. The product is good but nowhere near as hot as it should be. I used half a teaspoon on the small tiny bunch of beans and they were hot but not Carolina reaper hot. I’m sorry I cannot recommend this as the hottest pepper in the world to anyone!!!!!

Great spice
I find the heat varies with the foods I use it on. It can be hot or it can be spicy and flavorful. If you want just pain and no enjoyment or flavor, you’ll have to use quite a bit. The heat also tends to creep up. My favorite use is in my spicy broccoli beef recipe.

Not as hot as i thought but not bad at all.
It’s fairly hot and it doesn’t add any flavor whatsoever to food so if that’s what you’re looking for right on. It’s supposed to be hotter than the ghost pepper but I found that this powder isn’t at all. In the real world Carolina Reaper is hotter but not in this powder form i have to add way more of this to make things hot.
The smoked ghost pepper powder from Kiva adds an amazing flavor to food if you’re looking for actual taste as well as heat the Kiva Ghost Pepper powder is WAY hotter than this.

This is hot, very hot, however by starting small (just a few flakes) and working up gradually spice tolerance builds. I now add this to slow cooker recipes, eggs and other foods that benefit from a solid “kick.” I regret not taking it hiking, to add to freeze dried meals. The seasoning adds distinct flavor and heat. Thus regular spice jar container should last a long time. Start slow and work up. Impress your friends.

This is seriously hot pepper powder. You need to use it sparingly and with rubber gloves on. Please remember NOT to rub your eyes after touching this spice in any way. You could be injured!!
Food wise. Try just ONE small amount first and then, if not hot enough for you, try a small another. It is MUCH hotter than Habanero. So, use your own judgement when using it. A little goes a long way.
It meets the hot hot criteria.
Enjoy with caution.

Tasty but disappointingly mild
First off, this powder does taste nice. It has a faint smokiness and doesn’t taste as bitter as some cheap store brand cayenne powders, it tastes fresh. Of course, I was looking for something with far more heat… so… yeah. This powder really is not that hot. I regularly eat ghost pepper sauces and other very hot pepper products, so my tolerance may be higher than the average consumer, but honestly guys this in no way extremely hot. I found I was able to put a generous dusting of it all over my food, and while it gives a nice building warmth in the mouth that will get hot if you dump a whole bunch on, don’t think that a tiny pinch is going to set you over the edge. So, while I do very much like the taste and warm heat it brings, I believe it is much over hyped for how hot it is.

I don’t know what the people who are giving negative and “it’s not hot” reviews are talking about. They certainly didn’t get this powder. This stuff is the REAL DEAL. It will knock your socks off. I handle scotch bonnet and habs without major problems. I’m in discomfort with two drops of Ghost but i manage. Upon receiving, I carefully opened container (it’s a flimsy plastic shaker) and dipped my pinky into this stuff picking up a few grains. My mouth and throat were on fire. So very wonderful and just what I wanted. Also a huge value as you get a honking container for $12. Much better than the value of CR hot sauce which has garlic, vinegar and spices that I can add myself, thank you. For all you “It’s not hot” reviewers, please oh please update your review with a video post of you putting just 1/4 teaspoon in your mouth. Show us all how unhot it is!

“not as spicy as it’s supposed to be
i bought this expecting to add powder of the spiciest pepper in the world to my collection, but after using it for a month i realize why it’s so cheap and in such a big container (compared to other pepper vendors). the heat just isn’t there.
even when you use a bunch it doesn’t come close to being as hot as my Volcanic Peppers Scorpion Dust Powder 0.75 Ounces which i purchased 4 years ago and still have some left in the container. unlike this (carolina pepper powder), you actually don’t have to use a lot for it to be hot. (even using a ton of this carolina powder, it doesn’t get as hot as the scorpion powder is with way less)
if you’re looking for “”the spiciest pepper in the world”” powder, do not buy this brand. it’s not hot.
t’s still tasty though.

Very misleading and disappointing
It was loaded with mild pepper filler and is completely worthless if you bought this to be Carolina reaper powder and nothing else. I eat jalapeños that are stronger than this. The amount you have to use is an insult to chefs that want to add exactly what they want to add and nothing else. It’s a cheap mild spice blend and dishonest marketing. The chili powder tastes like 90% of the mix.

Great taste with some heat.
Received the product ahead of schedule, Amazon said it wouldn’t be received until possibly one additional day to 4 days later. The product was received as described and completely sealed and safe. The powder taste good and does leave a burning sensation in and around the mouth, although I was expecting a little more heat. I will note that the powder is hotter than any of the other seasonings I have. I eat habaneros on the regular so I know my heat tolerance is fairly high, so to others it may be very hot. All in all I am happy with my purchase. The only way I could be happier is if it was a little cheaper.

Hot sauces are great and all, but a lot of them only pair well with a limited set of foods — this stuff is much more versatile than a typical sauce.
… and the price is significantly lower than some other brands, while the product itself is indistinguishable.

Great will buy again
Great for people into the highest tier of spicy food……. it also works great for keeping people out of my salsa in the work fridge. it’s a hoot to watch people try it for the first time, starts out fairly spicy…..then it builds……. Oh Lord DOES IT BUILD……..

LOVE /// HATE
UGH. I love the flavor of this super fragrant powder. I love the heat too, it’s the first chili that’s given me a head rush. Upon eating a TINY quantity I can feel the blood rush to head, and sweat start up in my scalp. It’s not a sharp green acid searing hot like a Thai chili, it’s a round, very warming wall of smoky dried fruit kind of burn.
So why the Ugh? This is the first “hot” thing to f*** me up. I got a little too carried away one day, and added too much to my food (Jalapeno Cheetos). All tolled, I probably ingested about an <1/8 teaspoon. I had a hard time breathing due to it generating what my GP thinks is a stomach ulcer. Have the calcium carbonate ready. An interesting side note, the morning after (if you know what I mean) is really not too bad. Hab and Jolokia powders give me a much rougher time on the bowl.
This is awesome. Hot, tasty, powdered death in bottle. If you like hotter than hot, with tons of character, this is it, but seriously, creep up on the quantity you're ingesting, don't get crazy. Don't aerosolize it. Wear gloves where practical. DON'T GET IT anywhere near anything on your body but your mouth. For god sake keep it away from un-attended kids.
I definitely recommend this if you or someone you love is into absurdly spicy stuff.

Great Price for Fantastic Carolina Reaper Chili Seasoning!
Fantastic Reaper Chili Seasoning. Excellent flavor and heat. Much cheaper than any Carolina Reaper Seasonings I have been able to find and you get a large bottle of it. I highly recommend this seasoning!

Best ever…
Wow!!! This powder is HOTT…with a good taste. I’m a chili head and this is the hottest yet. Maybe the other reviews got a bad bottle or they are just unhappy with life. Highly recommended and great value.

My friends and I had burning tacos from hell. Your toilet trip will be to visit the devil himself.
Edit: 2019, years after I originally bought the powder, and it’s still strong. I have about 1/5th left. I can’t describe the hilarious stories and experiences I’ve had with people not taking the powder seriously and eating it pure with me. They all sob and fall to the ground in pain, always in disbelief. You disrespect the Reaper, it will disrespect you.
This is by far the most bang for my buck I have ever gotten in a purchase.
I was very skeptical about getting very much hotness from 13 dollars of powder. I spent hours and hours looking for pure reaper powder or liquid. liquid is ridiculous because you only get like 40ml worth. The bottle here is decent sized and will last me for a long long time.
To the hotness though. I got my buddy over to my house to make tacos for lunch. My brother happened to be home and so he joined in. I suggested using my carolina reaper powder that had just arrived and explained how it was supposed to be the hottest pepper in the world yada yada, we are men, we can take the pain…
Holy crap. We poured a lot of powder onto our tacos and ate them. No milk, no cold ice. We stood there for probably 15-20 minutes sweating, and spitting fire hot saliva(magma), while having each word spoken feel like breaths of hot fire. My brother was leaned over the sink and the blood rush to his head form the heat caused a nosebleed. we were all honestly tearing up because it felt like our mouths were on fire. Once it went down, my guts were turning all day and we decided to eat some ice cream.
The next day was pretty bad. My buddy called and told me that he has the red ring of fire in the bathroom. soon after I had to use the toilet and sure enough my butt was flaming hot and I was hoping for it to just be over. Fortunately it only lasts around 2 minutes when it comes out the other end.
In the end I decided to never use this again. Lol… no. I actually put small (way smaller than before) amounts on most of my cooked foods to add some spice. I love that only a tiny amount goes a long long way. 13 bucks is an amazing price for the kick you get. 5/5. so worth it.

Literally the hottest chili powder out there. man this stuff goes a long way

Not for the timid.
I like the dry peppers better because you can control the amount of heat you want desired. Whenever I try to use the liquid form of this pepper I put way more then I wanted. With powder if its not hot enough you can always set it on the table and have others or myself sprinkle on their on accord.

As hot as it gets
If you love heat, you are not going to find anything on the market hotter than this. A little goes a looooooong way. I like to sprinkle a little on my food and it lives up to all of my hopes. Ghost peppers are hot, but I can handle them in sauces. Same thing with Trinidad Scorpion peppers but a lot of those approach the caution side for me. This product is right there in the red zone. I don’t know if I would want anything hotter. I love the flavor and heat it has. And this company gives you way more powder for a heck of a lot less than several competitors. I was worried that it may have been cut with a lesser hot pepper but my unscientific taste buds say this is the real deal. It is easily twice as hot as ghost peppers in my opinion. Use with caution. Don’t spill it or get it airborne. It is not for the faint of heart.

Attention heat seekers
I love hot peppers, and this powder packs a mighty punch. I know I can always give myself a fiery wake me up whenever I feel like it now.
