Grim Reaper is remarkable pepper comes from the talented pepper breeder Kevin Bane. The story behind it is equally special: Kevin received the initial seeds for this variety from his late friend, Donnie Armstrong, shortly before Donnie passed away. Kevin shares that these Grim Reaper seeds sat in a hot garage for three years before being planted, and out of the batch, only one sprouted. Though originally expected to be red, the plant produced chocolate-colored fruit. Kevin calls this "one mean looking chili." Given that majority of the Grim Reaper fruits have spikes and tails. The fruit "look like they want to hurt you and they will." This unique pepper is a tribute to Donnie Armstrong, who was an architect for the US government and lived in Western Tennessee. Beyond his work, Donnie was a passionate advocate for animals, running a stray cat rescue. He was known for his generosity, sharing seeds. Donnie may have passed away from cancer, but his legacy burns on through the Grim Reaper—a truly spectacular pepper that keeps his memory alive. Now, Kevin is honoring Donnie’s memory hoping others will experience the heat and flavor that Donnie passionately cultivated. The flavor is very chocolatey, a bit earthy, floral, paired with knock-your-socks-off heat. "Chocolate love powder," Kevin calls it. "Brutal stuff. I love it."
