ONE OF THE HOTTEST PEPPERS IN THE WORLD!
Actually, I can best reproduce the wonderful story of the Finnish grower Jukka here:

Years ago, after acquiring Moruga Scorpion seeds, long before it was measured as the hottest variety on earth, I began a breeding project starting with the Moruga Scorpion variety. At that time, it was a completely unknown variety.
The idea to breed the Moruga Scorpion into a hotter variety began after tasting the original Moruga Scorpion. I immediately realized it was the hottest variety I had ever tasted! I always personally knew that Moruga Scorpion was hotter than all others from the saga of the hottest chili peppers. I also found out that the variety could be bred even hotter by using varieties that had similar powers to Moruga Scorpion, but were yet unnamed.
During this breeding process, I sent some seeds of my Moruga Scorpion fruits to a fellow chili-head. He grew them and had them officially measured, and darn it, it turned out to be much hotter than I could have ever expected! I was very excited and motivated to continue the project I had started much earlier.

After several years of breeding, which practically meant selecting the hottest and best-tasting variety for multiple generations, the Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw variety was born! Many, many tests later (with various chili-heads and “normal” people), this variety was clearly the one that beat the old king, Moruga Scorpion.
The heat level is intense in a way that is completely crazy different.
For the first time ever, I had a strange experience tasting a part of the fruit: my tongue immediately went numb... just like at the dentist. I've heard that this happens quite easily to some people, but to this day, I've grown a little over 3000 different types of peppers and tasted almost as many, I have never tasted anything like this. And yes, I've tasted quite a few super hots and therefore have every right to speak! After my tongue went numb, the intense heat began to spread around my mouth, and after a while (difficult to say the exact time because the sense of time was completely numbed), the feeling in my tongue returned and the pain that remained was just terrible. I was actually a little scared of how intensely hot our peppers can be bred.

In dishes, this variety can be used much more subtly, and once you realize that and learn to use the right amounts, the taste will be absolutely amazing. The taste of these fruits actually makes it unique in its kind. The heat is just a big plus and ensures that this wonder pepper will last a long time.
The powder of this variety is particularly good. Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw reacts very well to drying, and the taste is very concentrated and unique, making it one of the best extremely hot varieties I have ever tasted. It remains to be seen if this variety will ever be surpassed!
