Thais, cayennes, black jalapenos, and Scotch Bonnets, were the ones I found to be the best for sauces, but Reapers, even though they are stupid-hot, actually taste great. You just need to dose them into the sauce very sparingly.
Ghosts are just heat and pain, but they are really easy to grow, you get lots on a plant, and they are big. 3-4" long and sometimes bigger. They come in lots of colors too.
These are the ones to punk your buddies with. They have a heat that hurts down low in your voice box and makes your ears thump with pain. I'd eat a Reaper before a Ghost.
I've eaten a lot of superhots, it never stops hurting. Yet I still do it smh...
Reapers and Scorpions have that nasty hooked curly-tail. They scream "DO NOT EAT" lol.
Ghost Pepper.
7 Pot Brown.
A mix.
A Brown, a Reaper, an Orange Ghost, and a Cayenne.
Reapers!
More Reapers. If you look closely there is round 2 of blossoms up top. Hundreds of them. This plant produced 3 waves of fruit totalling at least 50 peppers.
And the 2 million scoville king, Ed Currie's Carolina Reaper from Puckerbutt Peppers. What a nasty thing. It looks evil.
They all love fish ferts.
