The Trinidad Scorpion may be second on the list of World’s Hottest Peppers. Yellow Trinidad peppers average about 2M Scoville Heat Units so they are not to be reckoned with as a moderately hot pepper! The burn isn’t immediate – there’s a slight sweetness initially. But don’t let that fool you, the fierce peppery taste hits moments later and builds into a thick sweltering throat heat that can literally make it difficult to speak. As with most super hots, the sensation of eating a Scorpion pepper isn’t limited to just your mouth and throat, you’ll feel it in your ears, skin, and certainly the whole way down your stomach.
