AAA - Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Pepper Powder

Magic Plant Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Pepper Powder

Legendary Stinger Heat—Aggressive Spice with a Rich, Floral Profile.

Overview

Our natural Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T packs a powerful heat at 1,200,000 to 1,460,000 (SHUs). Unlike the "creeper" varieties, the Scorpion is known for its aggressive, upfront sting. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and floral flavor! Our Trinidad Scorpion ground powder, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods 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 Trinidad Scorpion Butch T held the Guinness World Record for the hottest pepper in 2011, resulting in its legendary status in the chili world. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Trinidad Scorpion peppers have a distinctive appearance with a bumpy, pitted texture and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their signature "stinger" tail, giving them a menacing and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Trinidad Scorpions are known to be among the elite "super-hots" of 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 fine ground 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 sweet flavor of the Trinidad Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
