Overview

Our natural Smoked Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pods pack a powerful heat at 800,000 to 1,463,700 (SHUs). These peppers are famous for their aggressive, stinging heat that lingers long after the first bite. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and fruity flavor! Our Smoked Trinidad Scorpion ground pepper, crushed flakes and dry whole pods are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat intensifies after eating so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T was a previous world record holder, known for its extreme potency and "scorpion sting" finish. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, these peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled texture and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their signature small, pointed "stinger" tail, giving them their iconic Scorpion name and fierce reputation.

The Experience

Trinidad Scorpion Butch T peppers are known to be among the world's most elite chilies! 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 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 flakes or ground Scorpion peppers 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 fruity flavor of the Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.
