Calling all heat seekers: These burny babies are almost too hot to handle! Cut, prepped and jarred by hand, these spicy pickles might just be the spiciest pickles we’ve ever tried – they’re made with Carolina Reaper peppers, which rank at 2,200,000 SHU on the Scoville scale, 200 times hotter than a jalapeño! They are the perfect snack for anyone who yearns for burn.
Tip of the tongue:
Heat loves dairy! Casein, which is the protein in milk, helps wash away capsaicin molecules, which is the compound that makes peppers so spicy. So make sure you’ve got some creamy milk, sour cream, or yogurt on hand to alleviate those post-pickle sweats!
