Remember, the heat is intense and immediate so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is a specific strain of the Scorpion pepper, once holding the title of the world's hottest. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Trinidad Scorpion Butch T peppers have a distinctive appearance with a bumpy, gnarled texture and a vibrant red color.

The Experience

Trinidad Scorpion Butch T peppers are legendary among the world's hottest peppers! 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 pods (rehydrated or ground) 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 citrusy floral flavor of the Trinidad Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
