Trinidad Scorpion Peppers are among the hottest chili peppers in the world, known for their intense heat and distinctive scorpion-like shape. Originating from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago, specifically the district of Moruga, these peppers were developed by Wahid Ogeer in the 1990s. They are a cultivar of the Capsicum chinense species and have gained international recognition for their extreme spiciness, often being used in extreme hot sauces and culinary challenges. On February 13, 2013, the New Mexico Chile Pepper Institute named the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper the world's hottest pepper with an average Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of more than 1.2 million on the Scoville Scale. The pepper has since been surpassed on the list by Carolina Reaper and Pepper X.
What does it feel like?
The Scoville Scale is a measure of the pungency (heat level) of chili peppers. The heat level of the pepper seems somewhat mild at first but then it builds until it is unbearable and crosses the 1.2 million Scoville Heat Unit threshold. Some individual fruits are known to top out at a whopping 2 million on the Scoville Scale causing intense pain and a significant endorphin rush.

Disclaimer:
Our flakes are sold by weight as they are a commodity. Since they are pure we do not add fillers so how it looks in the bottle may be different than what is shown in the pictures as the density changes with each crop. FDA-approved plastic bottles are only manufactured to specific sizes (i.e. 8 fl oz, 16 fl oz, 32 fl oz) so changing the bottle size for each crop is not possible to always make it look entirely full for every crop.
