Background:
The White Moruga Scorpion is a rare and extremely hot chili pepper, derived from the original Moruga Scorpion. Known for its distinctive pale color and powerful heat, this pepper is popular among chili enthusiasts who seek both extreme spice and a unique look. The White Moruga Scorpion combines the intense heat of the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion with a slightly milder, sweeter flavor profile, making it a standout variety in the world of super-hot peppers.
Characteristics:
Appearance:
The White Moruga Scorpion has a rough, bumpy texture and matures to a creamy white or pale yellow color. The pods are round and slightly wrinkled, often with a small pointed tail, which is characteristic of the Scorpion lineage. This soft color contrasts with its intense heat, giving it a distinctive and appealing look.
Heat Level:
The White Moruga Scorpion has a Scoville rating that ranges between 1,200,000 and 2,000,000 SHU. It delivers a slow-building burn that intensifies over time, providing a long-lasting heat that’s comparable to the hottest peppers in the world.
Size:
The pods are medium-sized, generally around 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Despite their compact size, they pack an extreme level of heat, so they should be handled with caution.
Taste Profile:
The White Moruga Scorpion has a fruity, slightly sweet flavor with hints of citrus. Its taste is a bit milder and more delicate compared to other Moruga Scorpion varieties, making it suitable for dishes that benefit from both intense spice and a subtle sweetness.
Culinary Uses:
The White Moruga Scorpion is perfect for making ultra-hot sauces, chili powders, and spicy condiments. Its fruity and slightly sweet flavor makes it a versatile ingredient for salsas, marinades, and barbecue sauces. Due to its intense heat, it should be used sparingly, as a little goes a long way in adding both spice and flavor to dishes.
Growing Notes:
The White Moruga Scorpion plant grows to about 3 to 4 feet tall and produces a moderate yield of creamy white pods. It thrives in warm climates with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. The plant is relatively slow to mature, but its unique color and high heat make it a rewarding choice for chili growers.
Caution:
Gloves are strongly recommended when handling the White Moruga Scorpion due to its extreme capsaicin content. Avoid touching your face or eyes after handling, and consider cooking with this pepper in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes can be very potent.
Fun Fact:
The White Moruga Scorpion is named for both its color and its heritage, tracing back to the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. This pepper is a rare color variant, making it a popular choice among collectors and those looking to grow something unique and incredibly hot.
