About Carolina Ruby Red Pepper
The Carolina Ruby Red Pepper is a beautiful and fiery hot pepper that is native to the Carolinas in the United States. This pepper is known for its ruby red color and its intense level of heat. The Carolina Ruby Red Pepper is a member of the Capsicum chinense species and is part of the Habanero family.
When fully grown, the Carolina Ruby Red Pepper can reach a length of about 2 inches. It has a thin and wrinkly skin, and its shape is slightly elongated. The pepper also features a distinct floral flavor that makes it a popular addition to hot sauces, salsas, and other spicy dishes.
In terms of heat, the Carolina Ruby Red Pepper has a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of around 200,000 to 300,000. This puts it in the same range as the infamous Habanero pepper, making it one of the hottest peppers in the world. It's important to note, however, that individual peppers can vary in heat level, so be sure to handle this pepper with caution if you're not used to spicy foods.
While the Carolina Ruby Red Pepper is most commonly grown in the Carolinas, it can also be found in other parts of the United States and in some other countries around the world. This pepper is not known for its ability to thrive in extremely harsh conditions, so it's typically grown in warmer climates with plenty of sun and humidity.
