What is Trinidad Scorpion Pepper?

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is one of the world’s hottest chili peppers, measuring over 1.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) — multiple times hotter than a habanero. Named for its scorpion-like stinger tail, it originates from Trinidad and Tobago and is prized not just for its extreme heat but for a surprising fruity, floral complexity that makes it genuinely delicious in small amounts. When infused into flake sea salt, even a tiny pinch delivers a serious, lingering burn.
