Magic Plant Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion Peppers Flakes

A Lethal Hybrid—Intense Floral Heat with a Sting that Lasts.

Overview

Our natural Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion packs a powerful heat at 800,000 to 1,200,000 (SHUs). This unique hybrid combines the best of two world-class titans: the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and the Trinidad Scorpion. It features a delayed but massive heat build that transitions into a sharp, piercing sting. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex floral and savory flavor! Our Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion ground pepper, crushed flakes and dry whole pods are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat intensifies after eating so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion is a masterfully bred hybrid, resulting in its extreme heat level and balanced flavor profile. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers have a distinctive appearance with a bumpy, pitted texture and a vibrant red color. They often characterize the elongated body of a Ghost Pepper with the gnarled, bulbous base typical of the Scorpion family, giving them a menacing and recognizable appearance.

The Experience

Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpions are known to be a favorite among dedicated heat-seekers! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' specialty hybrids. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion peppers with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the floral savory flavor of the Ghost Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
