Beppe's Garden - Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 90g

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, native to Moruga Ward in Trinidad and Tobago, is one of the hottest chili peppers. It belongs to the species Capsicum chinense.
At the final stage, the pod reaches about the size of a golf ball. Besides the spiciness, the pods develop a fruity taste, resulting in a combination of sweet and spicy. Through testing and sampling with a selection of several known chili pepper varieties, the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University identified the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga in 2012 as the hottest variety in the world at the time. Its average spiciness is over 1.2 million units on the Scoville scale, while the fruits of a single plant reach 2 million units, much more than the Bhut Jolokia which held until now the record.
