Yellow Moruga Scorpion Pepper Seeds
Meet the brilliant, sun-kissed, and blisteringly hot cousin of a former world champion. The Yellow Moruga Scorpion is a natural color variant of the legendary Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the first pepper to ever officially break the 2 million Scoville barrier. It packs the same savage, world-class heat as its red sibling but delivers it with a stunningly unique and delicious flavor profile.
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.
