Trinidad Moruga Scorpion

The Trinidad Moruga scorpion (Capsicum Chinense) is a chilli pepper native to the village of Moruga, Trinidad and Tobago. It is one of the spiciest chilies in the world. In 2012, New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute identified the Trinidad Moruga scorpion as the hottest chilli at that time, with heat of 1.2 million Scoville Scale Unit (SHUs). In 2017 according to Guinness World Record, the hottest pepper was the Carolina Reaper, with 1.6 million SHU.

Aside from the heat, the Trinidad Moruga scorpion has a tender fruit-like flavor, which makes it a sweet-hot combination. The pepper can be grown from seeds in most parts of the world. In North America, the growing season varies regionally from the last spring hard frost to the first fall hard frost. Freezing weather ends the growing season and kills the plant, but otherwise they are perennials which grow all year, slowing in colder weather.
