Origins and history:
The Carolina Reaper is the result of two favorite varieties made to pollinate obtaining this new species, also known initially with the name HP22B without even realizing the grower Ed Currie, what he managed to create, until accidentally in 2011 a reporter from a national radio station accidentally ate a piece of it and was shocked by its very extreme spiciness, defining the aftertaste almost like a real physical pain, failing to quantify the degree of spiciness, he dedicated a service to him.
