Trinidad Scorpion, crushed red 2–5 mm

Product description

Discover Trinidad Scorpion as an extremely hot chilli speciality from Ecuador, coarsely crushed into bright red flakes. The 2–5 mm particle size adds intense colour and a fruity, fiery heat to professional and ambitious kitchens.

With 600,000–900,000 Scoville heat units, this Capsicum chinense chilli belongs to the ultra-hot category above 500,001 Scoville. The granulated, coarse structure reduces dust and allows precise, well-controlled dosing, even in larger Biova bulk applications.

In the kitchen, the crushed chilli flakes add distinctive, fiery heat to sauces, stews, curries or BBQ rubs. Even tiny amounts are enough to make dishes noticeably hotter – use Trinidad Scorpion with care and store it tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Origin

Trinidad Scorpion chillies in this product come from Ecuador, where warm, partly humid-tropical conditions are ideal for Capsicum chinense. Altitude, sunlight and nutrient-rich soils enhance the fruity aroma and deep red colour that Biova selects for bulk supply.

Cultivation / processing / harvest

The plants are grown by specialised producers and harvested at full maturity, when the pods are deep red and have reached their maximum heat. After harvesting, they are gently dried before the chillies are coarsely crushed to 2–5 mm and packed as granulated product for foodservice, artisan producers and industrial processors.

Special features

This chilli is defined by its combination of extremely high heat at 600,000–900,000 Scoville and fruity, slightly tropical notes. The coarse grind as chilli crush makes it easier to work into hot spice blends, rubs and pastes; Biova ensures single-variety, clean processing for consistent colour, aroma and heat level.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on country of origin, Trinidad Scorpion chillies can vary in heat, fruitiness and colour intensity. Ecuadorian cultivation is regarded as well balanced in terms of fruit aroma versus ultra heat; controlled drying and defined crushing at Biova keep these sensory properties stable and reproducible.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, there are intense, fruity chilli notes with hints of tropical fruit. On the palate, the chilli first appears aromatic and fruity before a very rapid, long-lasting, burning heat builds up, which, with careful dosing, can be used to create characterful, strongly seasoned dishes.

Possible uses

• For ultra-hot seasoning of sauces, stews, chilli dishes and curries in foodservice and artisan production.
• As a fiery component in BBQ rubs, grilling spices and marinades for meat, fish or vegetables.
