Native to the village of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago, it held the official crown as the world\'s hottest pepper in 2012 before being narrowly overtaken by the Carolina Reaper. To put the Moruga Scorpion\'s heat into perspective, it averages 1.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), but individual pods have been tested at an astonishing 2,009,231 SHU. What makes this pepper notoriously painful is its delay. When you first taste it, you will notice a surprisingly sweet, fruity, and floral flavor. For the first few seconds, you might think it isn\'t that bad. Then, the capsaicin kicks in. The heat builds steadily over 10 to 15 minutes, escalating into an intense, full-mouth burn that causes heavy sweating, tearing eyes, and a massive endorphin rush.
