Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper Seeds
Enter the realm of the titans. The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is a legendary pepper that forever changed the meaning of "extreme heat." This is the savage, unrelenting beast from Trinidad that, in 2012, was officially declared the hottest pepper in the world, becoming the first chili to ever smash the 2 million Scoville Heat Unit barrier.
This is not a pepper; it's a force of nature. The golf-ball-sized pods ripen to a hellish, bumpy red, a clear warning of the power contained within. The experience begins with a deceptive, tender fruitiness and a hint of sweet floral notes. Then, the heat begins to build. And build. And build. It's a creeping, volcanic eruption of spice that is famously punishing and lasts for an eternity. Growing the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is a true test for the most seasoned chilihead, a chance to cultivate a former world champion.
