Dried Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper
Dried Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper is the dried version of the famous Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, belonging to the species Capsicum chinense and native to the Moruga district on the island of Trinidad. The world's hottest chili pepper until 2013, before being surpassed by Carolina Reaper, it reaches between 1,200,000 and 2,000,231 Scoville Heat Units.
The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Plant
The plant is productive and highly adaptable, with dark green leaves and white flowers. Fruits are quite large for the species, about the size of a golf ball, with the characteristic lantern shape and a final protuberance resembling a scorpion's tail; unripe they are green, ripening to deep red.
How to Sow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C: Capsicum chinense germination is slow, often 3-4 weeks.
How to Grow Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
Transplant from May, once night temperatures stay stably above 15°C. It prefers full sun, wind shelter and fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Heat Level and Care Tips for Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
Given the very high capsaicin concentration present in every part of the fruit, always handle fruits with disposable gloves. During drying, keep the product away from direct drafts and excessive heat sources.
Diseases and Pests of Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
Like other Capsicum chinense, it can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly, especially under protected cultivation with poor ventilation.
Properties and Uses of Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
Capsaicin, responsible for the heat, has thermogenic properties and boosts metabolism. Dried Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper, with a slightly fruity flavor alternating with the heat, is used as powder, sauces or concentrated extracts, always in minimal doses.
