Trinidad Moruga Scorpion: An Explosion of Caribbean Heat
The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (Capsicum chinense), native to the Moruga district of Trinidad and Tobago, is one of the most potent peppers on the planet and a true benchmark for extreme heat lovers.
Intensity and History
This super pepper gained fame in 2012 by reaching impressive values on the Scoville Scale (SHU), surpassing the 2,000,000 SHU mark. Although surpassed by the Carolina Reaper, the Moruga Scorpion remains firmly on the nuclear pepper podium, recognized for a heat that "doesn't seem so bad, then builds and builds" into an intense, persistent fire.
Unique Flavor
Beyond the overwhelming power, this pepper surprises with a fruity and sweet flavor that manifests before the heat wave sets in. This combination of tropical sweetness and nuclear spice gives it an unmatched singularity in the super hot world.
Fruit Characteristics
The name "Scorpion" comes from the fruit's shape, which often ends in a small stinger-like tip. The ripe fruit turns a deep red and has a wrinkled surface, characteristic of ultra-hot peppers.
Handling and Use
Due to extremely high capsaicin levels, it is crucial to handle the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion with extreme care; protective gloves are highly recommended. Ideal for hot sauces, oils, or powders where only a tiny amount is needed.
Trinidad Scorpion Moruga - SHU 2,000,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
