AAA - Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion Pepper Powder

A Rare Nuclear Hybrid—Ghostly Bite Meets Scorpion Sting.

Overview

Our natural Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpion packs a powerful heat at 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 (SHUs). This unique hybrid combines the best of its parents: the "creeper heat" of the Ghost Pepper and the immediate, sharp sting of the Trinidad Scorpion. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex floral and citrusy 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 is intense and long-lasting, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

Originally developed by a farmer named Jay in Pennsylvania, this pepper is a crossbreed between a Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and a Trinidad Scorpion. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers have a distinctive appearance with a twisted, bumpy texture and a rich red color. They are often characterized by contorted shapes and scythe-like tails, giving them a mean, "scorpion-like" appearance that warns of the fire within.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Red Jay’s Ghost Scorpions are known to be a favorite among the most dedicated "chiliheads"! 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 powder 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, citrusy flavor of the Ghost Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
