Yes, the sting is absolutely in the tail The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion chilli pepper gets its name from the shape of its tip – and from the fact that it stings like unholy hell. At 2 million Scoville units, it sits somewhere between dragon’s breath and Mount Doom, and is very much one for the connoisseurs. Use these innocuous little flakes with considerable care – a pinch into a marinade; the barest sprinkle over pizza or in a spicy stew. Thoughts and prayers for the next morning. FEATURES THE BRAND Trinidad Moruga Scorpion chilli flakes 2 million Scoville heat units Superfood ingredient – rich in antioxidants and capsaicin 15ml glass tube Vegan Most hot sauces are designed to blow your face off, pure and simple. A quick look at the ingredients will reveal sugar, vinegar, some sort of capsicum-based battery acid, and a list of chemical additives as long as your arm. Who needs flavour when you've got fire? The boys behind Chilli No. 5 disagree. Between them, Rumble and Colin – one a clean-eating chilli obsessive, the other a classically trained Scottish chef – have spent years backpacking around the world, tickling their tastebuds with spicy sensations from Central America to Southeast Asia. Years of travel made the gap between authentic flavour and supermarket hot sauce increasingly hard to ignore, so they got on and did something about it. The sauces, spice mixes and chilli flakes from Chilli No. 5 are made fresh in the UK in small batches, featuring whole ingredients and superfoods without the usual laundry list of synthesised additives, acids and starches. The Jamaican Jerk rub is aromatic and zingy. The Harissa is earthy and garlicky. The Piri Piri is bright and citrus-forward. Even their most ferocious concoctions boast complex flavour profiles that'll make your mouth water as well as your eyes. Award-winning hot sauces and spices, inspired by real adventures and ready to accompany you on yours.
