The Yellow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (Capsicum chinense) is a vibrant color variant of the legendary pepper from Trinidad and Tobago. Known for its iconic "scorpion tail" shape, it is one of the most powerful super-hots on the planet. While the red version hit the 2012 world record, the yellow variant offers the same nuclear heat with a unique flavor profile.
This pepper is strictly in the Nuclear category. Its heat consistently exceeds 1,200,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), peaking at an incredible 2,009,231 SHU. The burn is relentless and builds gradually after ingestion. Handling Warning: Protective gloves are mandatory when handling these seeds and fruits.
The fruits ripen to a vibrant golden yellow. Its aroma is intensely citrusy and fruity, with notes of pineapple and tropical fruits. It is superior for creating light-colored extra-hot sauces, seasoning fish, or creating nuclear powders where fruitiness is key.
