Trinidad Scorpion Choco Hot Pepper Seeds

The Trinidad Scorpion Choco Hot Pepper is a striking and intensely hot variety that delivers both in flavor and heat. Known for its rich chocolate-brown color, this pepper is a variant of the infamous Trinidad Scorpion, with a unique twist on the classic shape and heat profile. Its appearance is as bold as its heat, featuring wrinkled, scorpion-like pods that taper to a pointed end, adding an exotic touch to your garden.

With a heat level ranging from 1,400,000 to 1,500,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Trinidad Scorpion Choco is no joke. It provides a powerful and fiery burn that is well-suited for seasoned heat-seekers who love a challenge. Its heat is intense, making it perfect for those looking to create extreme hot sauces, spicy marinades, and fiery dishes that demand a high heat threshold.

The peppers typically grow to about 2 to 3 inches in length and ripen to a deep chocolate-brown color when mature. The plant itself is relatively compact, reaching heights of 3 to 4 feet, and is ideal for both garden beds and container gardening. The peppers grow in clusters, yielding a good number of pods throughout the growing season.

From flowering to fruit ripening, the plant takes around 90 to 120 days, and it thrives in warm, sunny conditions, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in hotter climates. Due to its extreme heat, the Trinidad Scorpion Choco is best suited for those with experience in handling and cooking with super-hot peppers.
