DescriptionThe Moruga Scorpion from Trinidad once held the title of world's hottest pepper, with individual pods testing over 2 million SHU. These bumpy, golf ball-sized pods ripen from green through orange to a deep red and deliver a slow-building, intensely fruity heat that keeps climbing.

A must-have for superhot enthusiasts and hot sauce makers. Use sparingly in sauces, powders, and extreme heat challenges. Pairs well with tropical fruits, garlic, vinegar, and smoked meats.
