What can I do with Dry Carolina Reaper Peppers
Make Your Own Pepper Flakes
​
Once you have your Carolina Reaper dry pods, you can crush them to make your own hot pepper flakes. They can be crushed with a pestle and mortar by hand, or you may choose to use a blender or food processor to make your pepper flakes. You can also lay them on a hard surface and use a rolling pin to crush them. Dried peppers are very easy to crush, if you wear gloves you can even crush them with your hands. No matter what method you use to crush them, be gentle or you will end up with Reaper powder! That’s okay – if you want powder, but if you want flakes take it easy on the dried pods.
Rehydrate the Dried Pods for Cooking
​
When you buy Carolina Reaper pepper pods that are already dried, you can rehydrate them and use them in all your favorite dishes. Rehydrating the peppers is easy. Just put the dried pods in a bowl and pour enough water over them to just cover them. Put some sort of cover over the bowl and let it set until the peppers are pliable. This usually takes about 10 minutes. If you want to add a toasty flavor to your peppers, place the dried peppers in a hot skillet without any oil or liquid and let them cook just until a little smoke rises. Then turn the pepper over and let it cook until a wisp of smoke rises. Then proceed with rehydrating the peppers. After you have rehydrated the pepper pods, you can chop them up and add them to any dish. You may also use the rehydrated peppers to make salsa, mashes or sauces.

Grind the Pepper Pods into Powder
​
For those who prefer using powder over flakes, Carolina Reaper dry pods can be crushed into powder. You may use a coffee grinder, food processor or blender to transform dried pods into a usable powder. Since you are making it yourself, you can grind it as fine as you prefer. It can be left coarse, or ground until it is a fine powder. Once it is in powder form, you can sprinkle the desired amount into your favorite dishes and recipes to add flavor and spice.
