Trinidad Scorpion Hot Pepper

90 days. Former record holder for heat—nearly the hottest chili on the planet! Wrinkled, lantern-shaped fruit ripens to a searing red-orange. Was named as the world’s hottest pepper by the New Mexico Chile Institute, edging out the previous record holder, Bhut Jolokia. Trinidad Scorpion averaged at 1.2 million Scovilles. Who needs pepper spray?
