reap
こういうreapの用法も押さえておきたいですね。reapは「刈る」「収穫する」という意味がありますが、「利益や賞を得る」という意味もあります。ここは農作物なので文字通り、reapの２つの意味がかけてあります。しかしどのような辛さなのでしょうか。いつかトライしてみたいものです。（Shou-VR*）
Carolina peppers reap world record as hottest
FORT MILL, SOUTH CAROLINA – Ed Currie holds one of his world-record Carolina Reaper peppers by the stem, which looks like the tail of a scorpion.
On the other end is red fruit with a punch of heat nearly as potent as most pepper sprays used by police.
Last month, Guinness World Records decided Currie’s peppers were the hottest on Earth, ending a four-year drive to prove no one grows a more scorching chili. The heat of Currie’s peppers was certified by students at Winthrop University who test food as part of their undergraduate classes.
