Growing Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Hot Pepper
Still recognized by CPI as the hottest chile pepper ever - measured 30% hotter than last year’s strain! Native to Trinidad and Tobago, the golf ball-sized fruits with a fruity, citrus-like flavor are wrinkled with a pointed tip resembling the sting of a scorpion. Ripens green to red. Used sparingly, it is great for salsas, marinades and hot sauces.
