Growing the Carolina Reaper Pepper

The Carolina Reaper is grown no different from other hot peppers. The most important thing to know is that temperatures cannot drop below 14 degrees, so you have to wait for the frost to end before starting to grow it. Its germination must be controlled between 28 and 30 degrees. If these requirements are met, it is a plant that does not usually cause too many problems in its cultivation. The ideal time for harvesting is between late summer and early fall, depending on how ripe the pepper is.

At first it has a sweet flavor, which contrasts with the inherent and ineffable spiciness. Even so, the initial sweetness makes it possible to make sauces with it. If we can't stand its spiciness, citric acid may be one of the few solutions to avoid traveling to hell after consumption.
