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.

Suggested Uses:
Our dried Trinidad Moruga Scorpion flakes are ideal for adding fiery heat to dips and salsas, pasta, nachos, pizza, wings, and more!

Warning:
You should always wear gloves and handle our Trinidad Moruga Scorpion flakes and powder spices with extreme caution. We suggest wearing gloves, goggles, a mask, and a long sleeve shirt when handling the product. Even the smallest amount of our Trinidad Moruga Scorpion flakes on your skin will cause you extreme irritation.

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.

Flakes are hot and tasty, thanks!

These pepper flakes have amazing flavor and heat. It’s the perfect way to control the level of spice you want. And it doesn’t change the flavor of your food, it just enhances it. Sonoran Spice Company has been my go to for years. The customer service is great and the orders always arrive in a timely way. I recommend this company to anyone who loves spicy food.

You know that hot sauce saying......I put that s#!+ on everything? I put this on everything except ice cream and cereal!!!! I love it... Very satisfied customer

I have been buying hot pepper flakes and powder from this company for years. I'm always happy with what I've received. Good Stuff!

The flavor is amazing. The heat ain't no joke. If you sprinkle this into a jar of pickles or olives and give it a week.....game over you can't stop eating them.

Not my first order. Please never stop selling this product. Thank you for being in business. 😀

Very good service. I have not tried the product yet since I am still finishing up the product from the previous order, but I'm sure it will be just as good as the other one I have been using.

Always hot with great flavor.

Best place to get hot spices

Such an excellent company: a great selection of products, very fast shipping; I have ordered from Sonoran Spice numerous times and have never been disappointed.

The peppers are hot 🔥 and so is the quick service. I'm thankful for your service and spices I would be glad to recommend this company 😀

They taste great and are the perfect way to add spice without affecting the flavor. They do kind of stink, but that could just be how all that dried scorpion peppers smell like! I will keep a supply of this for the rest of my life.

Soooo good!! Plenty of kick and I really like the flavor. A little bit goes a long way. One of my favorite tasting peppers by far!

Ordered it for my son and he really enjoyed it. Product came in as scheduled.

Great taste perfect chunkiness and just right on the spice my husband loves HoTT stuff

Awesome flakes, I have increased the heat of almost everything I eat with these. Caution to those who aren't sure, you need a decent spice tolerance to eat these or the reaper flakes unless you want a bad time, and you can ask a couple of my coworkers for conformation.

I've been ordering from Sonoran Spice Company for several now, and my favorite is the Trinidad Moruga Scorpins Flakes, as you can see, I have 2 bottles. I usually order one for extra's, this is really good on everything to pizza, noodles, meat, anything that is cooked.

I always order from the Sonoran Spice Company whenever I'm out, my favorite is the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Flakes. At first, I went on Amazon, but when I found out Sonoran Spice Company sold them as well, I have been ordering from them as well, I use them on everything, my noodles, my rice, my meat, shrimp, they taste delicious on everything. This is the second review I've left on the Sonoran Spice Website, and I would do so again.

No meal without SONORAN SPICE! The heat simply brings out the flavor in foods.

Great flavor, great heat and fast shipping.. Thank you

Fast delivery. Can't wait to use it in some new recipes.

I use them on and in everything! One of these jars last me about 2 weeks.

Just as advertised.

2nd order. With regular use(2-3 times/wk) the first bottle lasted me about 2 years. I have told some friends about your company. Price, quality and longevity are all wonderful. I hope you never go out of business.

Always exactly what I need from the Sonoran Spice Company!!!

Good and spicy.

Customer photo review of Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Flakes

I started ordering this back in June when my brother brought some over & left it at my house for me to use. After when I tried it, I asked him where did he order it from & from where. So I looked up your website & in June I ordered 3 bottles. One was a Carolina Pepper Flakes, the other 2 was a Trinidad Moruga Scorpions Flakes. Since then I have 1 every month. At first, I would put it on my noodles, then rice, but in reality, it tastes great on everything! And I for one love spicy food 😋. And I will continue to order 1 each month. 1 may still have 3 bottles but that's just in case guests come over and the holidays are coming up.

Excellent heat!

Just what I needed for my spicy pickles.

Fell in love with these pepper flakes. Super hot but so delicious!!! Great to spice up tomato sauce, excellent on pizza, I put it on almost anything. You won’t be disappointed

Hot and spicy goodness The perfect pepper flakes for my version of Hot and Spicy pork and rice

Scorpion Peppers I use the dried scorpion peppers to make delicious pickles! Great product and FAST shipping!

Scorpion Flakes I absolutely love these! Such good flavor and definitely kicks up the heat level for my foods.

Add Vietnamese Pho Bowls! Try this to blow your mind - add a light shake or two of these Trinidad Scorpion flakes to "Snapdragon Vietnamese Pho Bowls" available from Cosco or Amazon. Also add 2x hard boiled eggs. These pepper flakes give it amazing heat and also the flavor pairing goes very well together. The eggs thicken it up a bit. You will not be disappointed!

What an amazing product This is no joke, I love it an use it to make spice rubs.... Let me tell you that the heat and earthy flavor are amazing. I find the 1kg pouches the best deal and I would recommend to anyone who enjoys heat!!!
