Trinidad Scorpion Extreme Hot Pepper Seeds

Trinidad Scorpion Extreme Hot Pepper Seeds grow one of the hottest chiles in the world. While most extreme hot peppers run around 1,000,000 SHU, Trinidad Scorpion peppers have been recorded at over 2,000,000 SHU. Behind the extreme punch is a genuinely fruity flavor, and the crispy, thin, hot-red flesh, filled with round cream-colored seeds, adds intense heat to any dish raw or cooked.
