Magic Plant Red Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper Powder

Legendary Heat from Trinidad—A Powerful Burn with a Floral, Fruity Finish.

Overview

Our natural Trinidad Moruga Scorpion packs a powerful heat at 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 (SHUs). These scorpions are famous for their deep, intense burn that starts strong and continues to build. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex floral and sweet flavor! Our Red Trinidad Moruga Scorpion ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is persistent and powerful, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is native to the district of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago, and was the first pepper to break the 2 million SHU mark. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Moruga Scorpion peppers have a distinctive appearance with a rough, pitted skin and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their bulbous shape and lack of a long tail, unlike some other super-hots, giving them a heavy, dense appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Trinidad Moruga Scorpions are known to be among the elite super-hots in the world! 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 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 Trinidad Moruga 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 fruity floral flavor of the Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
