L'ORTO DI BEPPE - Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 90g

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, originating from the Moruga Ward in Trinidad and Tobago, is one of the hottest chili pepper varieties. It belongs to the species Capsicum chinense.
At the final stage, the pod reaches about the size of a golf ball. In addition to the heat, the pods develop a fruity flavor, resulting in a combination of sweet and spicy. During tests and samples 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 that time. Its average heat is over 1.2 million units on the Scoville scale, while the fruits of a single plant can reach 2 million units, which is much more than the Bhut Jolokia, which previously held the record.
