The Trinidad Scorpion is known as one of the hottest peppers in the world, ranking impressively on the Scoville scale. Although it held the title of world’s hottest pepper for a short period, it was soon overtaken by the Carolina Reaper and later Pepper X. We recommend being very careful when preparing this pepper, as even a small amount can make dishes or sauces incredibly spicy. Besides its extreme spiciness, the Trinidad Scorpion also has a fruity flavour, although it is often overwhelmed by the spiciness.

What makes the Trinidad Scorpion extra striking is that many of the peppers have a kind of scorpion-tail-shaped tip. And originally the chilli pepper comes from Trinidad, hence the name Trinidad Scorpion.

Warning: be careful when preparing and processing this extremely hot pepper! It is recommended to wear gloves when cutting the chillies and use them with care to avoid skin irritation and discomfort. Do you dare to take on the challenge?
