Trinidad Scorpion Peppers!

I doubt that I'll use all of my harvest but I LOVE the little that I've used so far. About a quarter of a pepper in a food processor with a good bit of Chi Chi's medium salsa makes for a seriously addictive mixture. A tiny notch of pepper raw straight up numbed my lower lip. It was great! I does not take much to fire things up.


"The island of Trinidad uses these for military grade tear gas and mace. Also they mix it in with Marine paint to keep barnacles from growing on the bottoms of boats."

So I thought that I'd see if maybe two of these guys would be worth anything in a trade. Some sources put the rating at a million or more Scoville units, but I haven't found anything definite.

Let me know.
