Trinidad Moruga Scorpion: An Explosion of Caribbean Heat
The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (Capsicum chinense), originating from the Moruga district in Trinidad and Tobago, is one of the most powerful peppers on the planet and a true reference for extreme heat lovers.
Intensity and History
This super pepper gained notoriety in 2012 by reaching impressive values on the Scoville Scale (SHU), surpassing the 2,000,000 SHU mark, which at the time crowned it as the hottest pepper in the world. Although surpassed by the Carolina Reaper, the Moruga Scorpion remains firmly on the podium of nuclear peppers, recognized for its heat that "doesn't seem so bad, and then it builds, and builds, and builds" until it becomes an intense and persistent heat.
Unique Flavor
Beyond its overwhelming power, this pepper surprises with a fruity and sweet flavor, which manifests before the heat wave settles in. This combination of tropical sweetness and nuclear spice gives it an unmatched uniqueness in the world of super hots.
Fruit Characteristics
Its name, "Scorpion", is due to the shape of the fruit which often ends in a small point similar to a stinger. The ripe fruit takes on a deep red color and has a wrinkled surface, or even "toad skin", characteristic of ultra-hot peppers.
Handling and Use
Due to its extremely high capsaicin content, it is crucial to handle the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion with extreme care, and the use of protective gloves is highly recommended. Its main use is in the production of hot sauces, oils, or powders, where only a small amount is needed to provide incomparable heat. It is an ideal pepper for those seeking the ultimate challenge in terms of spiciness.
