About Trinidad Scorpion – Yellow
Yellow Trinidad Scorpion is beautiful golden variant with same crushing heat as red version (1,200,000-1,400,000 SHU). The yellow color is striking and the flavor profile leans more toward citrus and tropical fruit notes. Despite extreme heat, some experienced chile-heads detect more fruity complexity than red scorpion. Makes beautiful golden-colored extreme hot sauces. The scorpion tail is still present. Extremely hot – not for beginners!
