AAA - Smoked Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Pepper Mash

Magic Plant Smoked Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Pepper Mash

Legendary Scorpion Heat—Infused with Deep Smoke and Fermented Complexity.

Overview

Our natural Smoked Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T packs a powerful heat, averaging around 1,400,000 (SHUs). This specific "Butch T" strain was a former world record holder, known for a sting that is both immediate and enduring. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex floral and citrusy flavor, now enhanced with a deep, natural smoky profile! Our Smoked Scorpion fermented mash is insanely hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is intense and long-lasting, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is famous for its distinctive "scorpion stinger" tip and its blistering potency. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, bumpy texture and a vibrant red color. Our smoking process adds a layer of savory depth to the natural heat, making this fermented mash a favorite for those who want fire and flavor in equal measure.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Trinidad Scorpions are known to be among the hottest peppers in existence! 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, smoky 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 and smoky 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 mash 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 smoky floral flavor of the Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
