CAUTION WORLD'S NO #2 HOTTEST PEPPER The Maruga Scorpion Chilli is a variety of the Capsicum Chinese species, which is the bonnet family of peppers. The Maruga Scorpion also referred to as the Trinidad Scorpion, strongly resembles the habanero and the Scotch Bonnet—but the Scorpion has both of these peppers beat with its extreme heat! We harvest the Maruga Scorpion Chillies at their peak ripeness, dry them to lock in flavour, and carefully grind them into a powder for your use.
