  • My love for hot peppers began at a young age. I may have been about six or seven years. After trying different varieties, I discovered the rarest and hottest naturally occurring pepper on the planet, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper. My love for hot peppers is a part of my identity and I continued to explore the cultural significance of hot peppers in my root-land, Trinidad and Tobago. Today I share my passion with others and still enjoy the scotch bonnet pepper, the one that started it all.

    This is an awesome video!, trinidad and tobago has by far some of the most awesome peppers around, its interesting that some varieties are still being known to the world from there, i recently been interested specifically in the seven pod peppers from there, it is very true that it should be a great part of historic pride, the ancestors left us their work and varieties and now we gotta keep the gift alive and spicy haha

    As a Scotsman who resides in Spain I had no idea how little hot spice is used here. I resorted to growing my own peppers 2 years ago and it's been so successful and exciting. This year I've got a couple of healthy Trinidads for the first time and I can't wait for the results.

      Hello Spain Insider
      It's fascinating to hear about your journey from Scotland to Spain and your exploration into the world of hot spices! It's true that spicy levels can vary greatly from one cuisine to another. You've found a great solution to bring some heat to your meals. I love the stuff myself.
      Growing your own peppers is indeed an exciting venture. Congratulations on your success! The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers, I'm sure, will be a thrilling addition to your homegrown collection. They are known for their intense heat and unique flavor.
      Remember to take care of them, give them plenty of sunlight, and don't overwater. You're in for a real treat when they mature. Please keep us updated on your progress. Happy growing! 🌶️🌞 -d

    I love moruga scorpion pepper. I also like the scotch bonnet pepper or "Congo" locally named in Trinidad. Unfortunately in the UK you can't always find that original, flavourful scotch bonnet anymore. Most scotch bonnet peppers in the UK are sourced from Spain, Dorset UK, or Morocco. These peppers don't have the same original flavour. I need to get some original scotch bonnet pepper seeds from Trinidad or Jamaica, or even Ghana.

    The trinidad moruga scorpion was the first pepper that I absolutely fell in love with! I had it in a homemade hot sauce while visiting some friends in San Diego! I ended up acquiring 10 bottles to bring home with me to Montana and I literally put it on everything. Since, this pepper and or any exotic peppers are impossible to find in Montana. I ended up buying 4 grow tents to grow my own peppers this year. As these delicious flavor blasters I can’t imagine living with out!
    I love your videos and am looking forward to the videos of tips and tricks to growing these peppers!

    My love for chili and capsaicin started with the Trinidad Moruga Scirpion. A local bussiness called Skånsk Chili started selling their own Scorpion hot sauce without vinager and I absolutely fell in love with it. The sweet but spicy flavor showed me a whole new world. Chili sauce does not have to taste like spicy vinager, it can taste like chili!
    Since that moment I got hooked on chili. Last year I grew carolina reapers that my mom bought me as a smal plant. This year I will grow yellow scorpion from seed and I'm super excited! I will probably plant them in a week or two

      The Moruga Scorpion is truly a God send. Every once in a while I would go overboard and put too much on my food then regret it. The trick is getting the right balance between heat and sabor. I find it best to add too little at first, then more if needed. Thanks for the comment! -d

      @spicytropics  Рік тому +1

      Andres, I use a liquid fish fertilizer for my seedlings to develop good roots. But for flavor, a balance between temperature, humidity, light and soil. Moruga Trinidad is humid and warm and tends to be partly cloudy and around 30 degrees. I try to create the same environment. -d
