Magic Plant Red Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper Puree

Legendary Island Heat—Extreme Potency with a Deeply Floral Aroma.

Overview

Our natural Trinidad Moruga Scorpion packs a powerful heat at 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 (SHUs). Our Scorpions have a formidable burn that builds with intensity. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex floral and sweet fruity flavor! Our Trinidad Moruga Scorpion ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented puree are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat intensifies significantly after eating, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion originates from the Moruga district in Trinidad and Tobago, resulting in its extreme heat level and exotic profile. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers have a distinctive appearance with a bulbous, wrinkled texture and a deep red color. They are often characterized by their golf-ball shape and lack of a long tail compared to other super-hots, giving them a heavy, dense, and "scorpion-like" appearance.

The Experience

Trinidad Moruga Scorpions were once the world's hottest pepper and remain a top-tier choice for 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' 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 puree 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 sweet flavor of the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
