The Famous Chili Pepper from the Caribbean - Moruga Scorpion Chili - SMOKED
Moruga Scorpion Chili flakes are a fiery and flavorful spice derived from the Moruga Scorpion pepper, one of the world's hottest chili varieties. This pepper belongs to the Capsicum chinense species of peppers and is native to the district of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago, making it one of the most famous chili peppers from the Caribbean.
Is there a difference between Butch T and Moruga Scorpion Peppers? Both the Butch T Scorpion and the Moruga Scorpion are exceptionally hot chili pepper varieties, and they share a common ancestor. However, the Moruga Scorpion is specifically named after the region of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago, while the Butch T Scorpion is named after its creator, Butch Taylor, who is known for developing extremely hot chili pepper strains. The Moruga Scorpion is often considered one of the hottest peppers in the world, with slightly different flavor nuances compared to the Butch T.
Appearance: Moruga Scorpion pepper plants are relatively small but bushy, typically growing up to 3 feet (0.9 meters) in height. The peppers are usually elongated, with a pointy tail, and can reach lengths of 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 centimeters). They start green and ripen to various colors, including red, orange, or brown.
Other Names Used: Moruga Scorpion peppers are often referred to simply as "Moruga peppers" or "Trinidad Scorpion Moruga."
Heat and Flavor: Our premium Smoked Moruga Scorpion peppers are incredibly hot, with Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) ratings that can exceed 2,000,000 SHUs. They have held the title of one of the world's hottest peppers in the past. Moruga Scorpion peppers are known for their extreme heat, but when smoked it imparts a deep, smoky flavor to the pepper. This smokiness adds complexity to the pepper's natural taste, and enhances the richness of the pepper, making it ideal for dishes where a smoky, robust flavor is desired.
Cuisines/Uses: Smoked Moruga Scorpion Whole Dried Chili Pods are used sparingly in various cuisines where extreme heat and flavor are desired. They can be added to sauces, marinades, and spicy dishes to intensify the heat level. The Whole Pod can be reconstituted by adding boiling liquid to a heat resistant dish containing the number of peppers you will use. Just cover the peppers with the liquid and let soak for about 30 minutes.
