Do You Like It Hot? The Hottest Peppers in the World

My wife @corinnestokes and I have some good friends we've known for a long time, Nick and April Ray. You can see them in a camping trip post I did recently. One of the things they're passionate about is natural, organic farming on their homestead. You can follow their adventures on Facebook at Raydiant Acres.

Nick posted these photos recently, and I just had to share them on Steemit for any hot pepper lovers out there (I know @papa-pepper will appreciate this). I got permission from them and plan to transfer all the SBD rewards from this post to their Steemit account at @raydiant-acres

So here's Nick Ray talking about their latest venture:

---

The boys and I (Nick), went in on our first business venture together: growing and selling the world's hottest peppers!

It started with sourcing premium seeds last year, starting dozens of them indoors under grow lights in February/March and then planting them in the garden at the end of April. I'm now happy to announce that after months of care and maintenance, our harvest is ready for market!

If you or a friend or family member love wicked hot peppers that have been grown strictly organic from premium non-gmo heirloom seeds please let us know.

Descriptions with Scoville ratings are listed below in the pictures. We are selling them for 25 cents each and you can select whatever kind and however many you want. If you want them shipped, there will be a minimal packaging/shipping fee included, but trust me, they're worth it!

Message us with any questions or to place an order. If you don't know what a Scoville rating is, it's a measurement of the pungency (spicy heat) of chili peppers or other spicy foods. Here's more at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale

Here at Raydiant Acres, we love hot peppers! This was our first harvest that Nick ended up drying for later use once the winter months come. Even the Jalapenos are kickin'!

---

Currently the mother of all hot peppers, say hello to my little friend...the Carolina Reaper! Currently weighing in as the the hottest pepper in the world, reaching 2.2 million Scovilles!

I (Nick) eat this crushed up in a dry pepper shake, but haven't mustered the courage to eat one raw. Anyone brave enough to do it and post a video I'll send you one for free so you can give us all a laugh :-D

---

Look at that tail! This is the 3rd hottest pepper in the world, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, reaching up to 2 million Scovilles. It will leave a mark!

---

This is a yellow Moruga Scorpion pepper. It hits upwards of 1.2 million Scovilles.

---

This is my (Nick) favorite of all the peppers, the notorious Ghost Pepper. It registers a little over 1 million Scoville's and is the perfect mix of heat with a smokey flavor.

---

Here is the 7 Pot Chocolate Douglah. With a Scoville rating of up to 1.85 million, this guy is no joke.

---

The "Butch T" Trinidad Scorpion. I (Nick) accidentally ate this bad boy thinking it was a more mild pepper and I learned my lesson. Weighing in at almost 1.5 million Scoville's, this pepper will literally make you cry.

---

This is a red Savina Habanero pepper. It hits upwards of 560,000 Scovilles.

---

Like Tabasco Sauce? You can make your own with these beauties. Although they are not considered super-hots, at a Scoville rating of up to 50K per pepper, these little Tabasco peppers (1-1.5" long) will light you up!

---

This is your standard Jalapeño pepper. It's mild compared to the others, but it registers between 2500 and 8000 Scovilles.

---

Here's a large Cayenne pepper. Its Scoville rating is upwards of 50,000. Although it's not a super-hot, not everyone at Raydiant Acres can handle the heat so we have to make some concessions to please the boss ;->

---

Pretty cool, huh?

If you want to order some peppers from them, hit them up on on Facebook at Raydiant Acres. If you're into homestead farming, give them a follow at @raydiant-acres. Hopefully I can convince them to start posting here on Steemit. :)
