Overview

Our natural Yellow Trinidad Scorpion Butch T packs a powerful heat at approximately 1,463,700 (SHUs). These peppers are famous for their intense, immediate sting that lingers far longer than average chilies. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex citrusy and tropical fruity flavor! Our Yellow Trinidad Scorpion ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are insanely hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is immediate and potent, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T was a Guinness World Record holder for heat in 2011, resulting in its legendary reputation. Intense Heat and Endorphine Rush. Before processing, Yellow Trinidad Scorpion peppers have a distinctive appearance with a wrinkled, bumpy texture and a vibrant golden-yellow color. They are often characterized by their signature "stinger" tail, giving them a scorpion-like appearance that warns of the heat within.

The Experience

Trinidad Scorpions are known to be among the world's most elite super-hots! 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 citrus 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 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 tropical citrus flavor of the Yellow Scorpion without the overwhelming heat.

Culinary Applications

• Spice Blends: Add a crushed piece of Yellow Scorpion pod to spice blends to give them an intense heat and a bright flavor boost. It works well in Caribbean rubs and seafood seasonings.
• Hot Sauces: Yellow Scorpion pods are a popular ingredient in "yellow" style hot sauces. They add a fiery sting and a distinct tropical flavor that pairs well with fruit.
• Marinades and Rubs: Incorporate a small amount of crushed Yellow Scorpion into marinades for chicken or fish. It infuses them with intense heat and a unique citrus profile.
• Spicy Condiments: Infuse a small piece of a pod into honey or mustard to give them a fiery, golden twist.
• Salsas and Dips: Enhance the heat and flavor of tropical salsas (like mango or peach) by adding a tiny amount of crushed Yellow Scorpion pod.
• Pickling: If you enjoy spicy pickled vegetables, adding a whole Yellow Scorpion pod to the pickling brine will provide a serious kick and a beautiful yellow hue.
• Infused Oils: Create your own spicy infused oils by adding a whole pod to a bottle of olive oil. Let it sit to develop the stinging heat and citrus aroma.
• Bloody Marys and Cocktails: For a tropical fire, a tiny sliver of a Yellow Scorpion pod can be added to margaritas or rum-based spicy mixed drinks.
