🌱 Variety

This listing features the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Yellow, a rare and striking color variant of the original Moruga Scorpion. Known for its citrusy flavor and brutal heat, this variety brings both visual appeal and culinary excitement to any garden.


🔬 Species

Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Yellow belongs to Capsicum chinense, the legendary species behind many of the world’s hottest peppers, including the Carolina Reaper, Ghost Pepper, and standard Moruga Scorpion.


🌍 Origin

This pepper hails from the village of Moruga on the southern coast of Trinidad, where the scorpion varieties were first cultivated. In 2012, the original red Moruga Scorpion was officially recognized by the New Mexico State University’s Chile Pepper Institute, which measured it at an average of 1.2 million SHU with peaks beyond 2 million SHU. The yellow variety retains this extreme heat but adds a distinctive fruity brightness.


🧬 Hybridizer (if applicable)

The Moruga Scorpion wasn’t hybridized by a modern breeder but evolved naturally from traditional Caribbean chili selections. Trinidadian farmers selected the fiercest and most flavorful peppers over generations, giving rise to today’s Moruga Scorpion strains.


🎯 Description

Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Yellow peppers grow into small, gnarly, wrinkled pods measuring 4–6 centimeters (1.5–2.5 inches) in length. They ripen to a vivid, sunburst yellow and often feature a pointed tail—resembling a scorpion’s stinger—that gives them their menacing name. Their flavor is deceptively bright, with a burst of citrus and tropical fruit before unleashing an intense, lingering heat that can overwhelm even experienced chili lovers.


🌿 Plant Size

Mature plants reach 90–120 cm (3–4 feet) tall with a bushy, branching habit, making them suitable for large containers or garden beds. Their lush green leaves provide a stunning backdrop to the striking yellow pods, creating a dramatic visual display.


🌡️ Pungency

Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Yellow averages 1,200,000 SHU, but can exceed 2,000,000 SHU, classifying it squarely as a Superhot chili. According to the Guinness World Records, the Moruga Scorpion has vied for the world’s hottest title and remains one of the most intense peppers ever measured.


🌱 Grow Difficulty

This pepper is challenging to grow, recommended for intermediate or advanced gardeners. It demands consistently warm temperatures above 25°C (77°F), high humidity for germination, and at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. A deep, well-draining soil enriched with compost will support healthy growth, while careful watering prevents root rot—a common issue in superhot varieties.


⏳ Days to Germination

Under optimal conditions with a heat mat or propagator, seeds germinate in 10–21 days, though some may take up to 30 days if temperatures or humidity fluctuate.


🌾 Days to Harvest After Transplant

Expect your first ripe yellow pods 100–120 days after transplanting seedlings into their final location. Once they begin producing, plants will yield peppers steadily throughout the growing season.


🍽️ Culinary Uses

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Yellow isn’t just about mind-numbing heat—it also offers complex fruity notes that elevate recipes:

  • Hot Sauces: Craft small-batch hot sauces with tropical fruit flavors and devastating heat for an unforgettable condiment.
  • Chutneys & Relishes: Combine chopped scorpions with mango, pineapple, or papaya for intense Caribbean-style condiments.
  • Marinades & Rubs: Infuse meats, especially chicken or pork, with scorpion heat for authentic island-style barbecue.
  • Powder & Flakes: Dry and grind pods to make potent chili powder for spicing up curries, soups, or stews.
  • Fermented Sauces: Ferment scorpion peppers with garlic and vinegar for complex, tangy heat.

⚠️ Caution: Always wear gloves when handling Moruga Scorpion peppers. Even a small amount of contact with skin or eyes can cause severe irritation.
