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.
