Laaz, believe me, my son and I found that out, it burned the mouth for 30 minutes. .  Now two days later, some pepper's residue is still on my hands, even after washing them and doing the evening dishes.  They are certainly HOT.   I planted the seeds.

Lol! They are great for adding heat to food though. My wife uses them to make boiled peanuts.

That's certainly debatable ;) the hottest pepper I've eaten so far is bhut jolokia but my reapers are coming along nicely.
The hardest plants to grow are often those most worth growing.

 bhut jolokia  was at one time rated the world's hottest pepper.  I grew  bhut jolokia in my greenhouse.  Today most creditable sites rank Carolina reaper as the new king of the hill.

Yep. The hottest sauce I've had was a scorpion pepper sauce. Really burned. Excited to make a homemade batch with my chocolate ghosts and reapers.

 University of Vermont, found that consumption of hot red chili peppers is associated with a 13 percent reduction in total mortality - primarily in deaths due to heart disease or stroke—in a large prospective study.

If you like hot sauces, check out High River Sauces. They make some killer sauces. For a excellent all around hot sauce try the "Tears of the sun". For the reaper sauce check out the "Foo Foo Mama Choo"
