Magic Plant Red Scorpion Pepper Mash

The Legendary Stinger—Extreme Heat with a Bright, Floral Profile.

Overview

Our natural Red Scorpion Pepper packs a powerful heat at 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 (SHUs). Our Scorpion peppers are famous for their sharp, immediate sting that targets the back of the throat. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex floral and fruity flavor! Our Red Scorpion Pepper ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and 9 oz. fermented mash are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat hits quickly and lingers, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red Scorpion is a powerhouse in the chili world, originally hailing from Trinidad, resulting in its extreme heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Scorpion peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, bulbous texture and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their pointed tail-like protrusion, giving them a "scorpion" or stinger-like appearance.

The Experience

Red Scorpion Peppers are known to be one of the world's most formidable chilies! 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' scorpions. Use our premium quality 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 fermented mash 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 fruity flavor of the Scorpion Pepper without the overwhelming sting.
