What is the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Chili Pepper?

The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Chili Pepper was developed by crossing a Trinidad Scorpion pepper with a Naga Morich pepper originally in the Trinidadian and Tobago region. The pepper gained significant attention in the chili pepper community due to its extreme heat - ranging from 800,000 to 1.8 million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). It held the World’s Hottest Pepper Title from 2011 to 2013.

Culinary Uses: Our premium Trinidad Scorpion Butch chili peppers are widely used in Trinidadian and Tobago dishes, Mexican, Caribbean, Thai, Indian, Fusion, and American cuisines to add a spicy kick. Our crushed flakes, fine ground or dried whole pods are more convenient and safer to use than fresh Scorpion peppers.

Due to its intense heat, our Trinidad Scorpion Butch T chili pepper is used sparingly in cooking. Always handle our superhot peppers with care.
