Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Chocolate Powder is obtained by grinding the chocolate-colored variant of the Scorpion, with its smoky, earthy profile.
source plant, of the species Capsicum chinense, produces dark brown pods with a bumpy surface and characteristic stinger-like tip.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown between February and March in a seedbed at 24-28°C, dried and ground after the autumn harvest.
slow, low-temperature drying preserves the dark color and smoky notes, followed by fine grinding that removes the coarser seed fragments.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, and dosed with extreme caution: a few pinches are enough to season an entire dish.
when handling it, gloves and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways even from a distance.
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Chocolate Powder has an extreme heat level with smoky notes: use it in minimal pinches for dark hot sauces or intense marinades.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, responsible for its record heat, along with good amounts of vitamin A and antioxidants.
