Details
The Orange Trinidad Scorpion is one of the rarest members of the Trinidad Scorpion pepper family. The Trinidad Scorpion pepper's name comes from the pointed end of the pepper that is said to resemble a scorpion's stinger. When fully mature, the peppers grow to about 1-2" in length with smooth, thin skin. A great chili pepper for a hot sauce.
