Our 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 intensifies after eating 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, resulting in its extreme heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, bumpy texture and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their golf-ball-like shape and pitted skin, giving them a "scorpion" or dangerous appearance.

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 pods 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 sweet flavor of the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
