The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (Capsicum chinense), from the Moruga district in Trinidad and Tobago, is one of the most powerful peppers ever tested. In 2012, it made history by reaching a peak of 2,009,231 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This powder version delivers that legendary intensity in a concentrated, easy-to-use form.
Beyond its brutal heat, the Moruga Scorpion is famous for its fruity and sweet flavor profile, creating a unique "sweet-hot" combination that develops gradually before exploding on the palate.
As a 100% pure powder, it is perfect for those who want to add a nuclear kick to stews, marinades, or artisanal hot sauces. Use with extreme caution: its heat is persistent and deeply invasive.
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion powder, 10g pack. Concentrated extreme heat for extreme spice lovers.
