These plants produce gnarled, golf-ball-sized pods that ripen to a deceptively cheerful, brilliant yellow. Don’t let the sunny color fool you; this is a nuclear-level pepper with the same infamous “building” heat that gets progressively more intense after the first bite. What truly sets the Yellow Moruga Scorpion apart is its incredible taste – an intense, clean citrus blast with strong fruity notes. It’s like tasting liquid sunshine, just moments before a volcanic eruption of pure, unrelenting fire.
