Carolina Reaper Pepper Mash

Carolina Reaper Pepper Mash

Pure, unadulterated fire—freshly crushed, small-batch Carolina Reaper peppers captured at the peak of blistering heat.

For the true heat purists, hot sauce makers, and culinary daredevils, Tubac Gourmet Foods’ Carolina Reaper Mash delivers the ultimate test of endurance. This is not a heavily diluted table sauce—this is a thick, vibrant, and concentrated mash made entirely from hand-harvested Carolina Reaper peppers, the legendary reigning titans of the pepper world. We freshly crush these scorching peppers at the absolute peak of their ripeness, packing them with just a touch of sea salt and crisp vinegar to preserve their natural flavor, heat, and active fermentation potential.

With a blistering heat profile that averages over 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units ($SHU$), a tiny spoonful delivers a wallop of intense, slow-building fire. Beneath the staggering heat lies the Reaper’s signature, surprisingly complex profile—boasting distinctively sweet, fruity, and smoky undertones.

How to Use This Extreme Culinary Ingredient:

• The Ultimate Sauce & Salsa Base: Use it as the concentrated foundation for your own homemade extreme hot sauces, fiery wing glazes, or blistering custom barbecue sauces.

• Spike Your Favorite Dishes: Stir a mere toothpick-tip or drop into a massive cauldron of chili, stews, large batches of taco meat, or slow-simmered marinaras to give them a serious kick.

• Next-Level Marinades: Whisk a tiny fraction of a teaspoon into a large batch of meat marinade for beef jerky, flank steak, or chicken wings to infuse a deep, lingering undercurrent of heat.

⚠️ CRITICAL HANDLING WARNING: This product contains extreme levels of capsaicin and must be handled with the utmost care. Use protective gloves and eye protection when opening and measuring. Do not ingest directly in large quantities, and keep strictly out of reach of children and pets.
