Unpretentious Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Powder (1 Cup) Extremely Hot, Pure Ground Chile Pepper

Exactly as described. This one sits right next to salt & pepper. But may not be for everyone- it's hot!

This is a very consistent and fresh tasting product. I occasionally grow and dry Trinidad Scorpions to make my own ground peppers, and the taste and heat are very much as expected. If you haven't tried ground pepper any hotter than the crushed red variety you find in an average market, this will be a considerable step up in heat. However, unlike hot sauces, this will add only a subtle fruity flavor of the pepper and allow your food to retain its original flavor profile with added spice. Be aware that this is a very finely ground powder, so it tends to easily waft into the air as well as clumping a bit much if you shake it out of the container.

Is it the spiciest pepper in the world? No. But I promise you that won't matter if you do what I did. I took the lid off, and found the foil seal underneath, as you'd expect in modern society. And as with any powder product, there was some residue on the inside of the foil seal. So, being the occasional idiot that I am, I swiped some off with my pinky and licked it. Instant. Regret. And we're talking about a particle count here that, given a proper magnifying glass, I could have actually counted. By mass, probably in the "micrograms" neighborhood. I couldn't measure a quantity that small outside of a laboratory. Fire. Pain. And.... something else... A sweet smokiness, maybe? No, perhaps more acidic. Kinda citrus-y. Yeah. Lots of subtle and intricate flavor. The heat on this stuff is immediate. It bites hard and fast, unlike a ghost pepper. What's interesting about it is that while it doesn't exactly fade, it also doesn't seem to build. I use this in my BBQ sauce (about 3/16 tsp in a half-gallon batch). It provides a unique heat that is consistent and predictable as you eat... More sauce doesn't burn hotter. Because there's no delay you know the moment it hits your tongue what ride you're in for, and this pepper delivers.

This pepper powder has a high heat level. This bottle will last me a long time. Just a pinch goes a long ways.

Took a taste, and it's real (and tasty) Scorpion pepper powder. Definitely very high quality IMHO.

Works great in moderation is very hot not a bad price either

I purchased this product because I wanted a way to make my plate extra spicy. I am the only pepper head in the house. I am glad to say this helps achieve my goal of a spicy dish, but I expected scorpion pepper to be hotter and longer lasting. Perhaps because it is dry powder, and the oils aren't as available as if it were fresh peppers, may be the cause for why it feels less hot than I would expect. However, I would buy this again.

For use in my Cajun Seafood Boil. Plenty of heat and the flavor marries well with the corn and potatoes with its sweetness. Excellent pepper powder.
