Caroline's survival guide

Good times never seemed so good

She’s spicy, yet sweet as her famous sweet potato pie. Mess with her, and before you know it—your eyes are watering, skin is burning, and you’ll be regretting your decision for a minimum of 4-7 hours afterwards. Caroline is a classic Southern belle in every sense of the word: lovely manners, excellent cook, and scrappy to a fault. Caroline enjoys hosting parties every weekend with 100 of her closest friends, and she won’t let you leave without trying her famous hush puppies. Get on her good side, and you’ll be singing her name till the cows come home.

How to care for Caroline

She’s a hot one! The Carolina Reaper is noted as the world’s hottest chili pepper at 1.56 million on the Scoville Heat Unit scale. Please proceed with caution—this one’s not for the faint of heart. We advise against eating whole peppers. Use them in extreme moderation. Seek medical attention if you experience any sudden onset of pain such as severe headaches. The Carolina Reaper, otherwise known as the Capsicum Chinense, humbly takes the crown of the hottest pepper in the world. This plant can be grown either in a pot or in a garden and enjoys full sun. The peppers themselves are a stout shape with a wrinkled exterior, and can be harvested once they’re fully red. They can grow up to 5 feet tall. We recommend using protective gear (goggles and gloves) while handling, as their oils can burn skin! Proceed with extreme caution.

Oh no. I am sold out! :(
