Our Carolina Reaper peppers average 180 fresh peppers per kilogram (2.2 lb.)
Our pepper mash contains 87-90% fresh peppers, 8-11% salt, and 1-3% vinegar.
The retail mash is then heated to stop fermentation activity, which results in a loss of approx 15% of the weight due to water evaporation.
Therefore, approx 180 peppers are in one kilo of retail mash, approx 5 peppers per ounce.
