AAA - Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Pepper Puree

The Scorpion Sting—Intense, Immediate Heat with a Savory Floral Profile.

Overview

Our natural Trinidad Scorpion Butch T packs a powerful heat at 1,200,000 to 1,461,489 (SHUs). Unlike the "creeper" peppers, the Scorpion is famous for its immediate and aggressive "sting." So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex savory and fruity flavor! Our Trinidad 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 hits quickly and lingers, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T was a previous Guinness World Record holder, recognized for its extreme potency. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Trinidad Scorpion peppers have a distinctive appearance with a bumpy, gnarled texture and a bright red color. They are often characterized by their signature small, pointed "stinger" tail, giving them their iconic scorpion-like appearance.

The Experience

Trinidad Scorpions are legendary among spice enthusiasts! 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 savory floral flavor of the Scorpion without the overwhelming sting.
