Moruga Scorpion Pepper Powder

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper ranks between 1,200,000 and 2 million on the Scoville Heat Unit scale. That’s hot! For comparison, the habanero, which was at one time considered the hottest pepper, ranks at a mere 350,000 SHUs. If you can get past the heat, it has a tender, almost fruit-like flavor creating a sweet-hot combination. If a person is brave enough to eat the pepper raw, the heat isn’t noticeable right away. It will take a while to build, but once it starts, it will last for quite some time and become very intense. Many describe it as a fire burning inside their body. The heat can cause hiccups, numbness or sweating. 1/2 oz container.
