What is chiles escorpion?

Chiles Escorpion, also known as Scorpion Peppers, are a type of chili pepper that is one of the hottest in the world. They are named after their shape and their extremely potent heat, which is said to be similar to the sting of a scorpion.

These peppers are native to Trinidad and Tobago and have a distinctive wrinkled appearance. They are typically used to add heat to dishes, such as sauces, stews, and curries.

Chiles Escorpion have a Scoville rating of up to 2 million, which is more than twice as hot as the previous record holder, the Bhut Jolokia or Ghost Pepper. They are not recommended for those who are sensitive to spicy foods, and should be used with extreme caution.
