The Trinidad Scorpion Pepper is among the hottest peppers in the world with a big range of heat. It hails from the Caribbean and is named for it's scorpion-like tail.
They have a somewhat fruity flavor, but also an intense, quick burst of biting heat that takes a while to subside, which we call the "scorpion sting".
Be careful when cooking with these peppers, as they are extremely hot and can make your skin burn when handling them. They are ideal for salsas, marinades, and making your own hot sauce.

Note that hot peppers tend to be hotter when they have less water and fertilizer. If they receive plenty of water and fertilizer they may be more mild than expected.
- Try planting pepper plants near tomatoes, parsley, basil, and carrots in your home vegetable garden. Don't plant them near fennel or kohlrabi. Peppers are very colorful when in full fruit and combine well with green herbs, okra, beans and cucumber fences in the garden bed.
