ONE OF THE HOTTEST PEPPERS IN THE WORLD!
Actually, the best thing to do is to reproduce the wonderful story of the Finnish grower Jukka here:

Years ago, after I got Moruga Scorpion seeds, long before it was measured as the hottest variety on earth, I started a breeding project which began with the Moruga Scorpion variety. At that time, it was a totally unknown variety.
The idea of breeding the Moruga Scorpion into a hotter variety started after tasting the original Moruga Scorpion. I immediately found out it was the hottest variety I had ever tasted! I have always personally known that Moruga Scorpion was hotter than all the others from the saga of the hottest chillies. I also found out that the variety could be bred even hotter by using varieties that had similar powers to Moruga Scorpion, but which are still nameless.
During this breeding process, I sent some seeds of my Moruga Scorpion pods to a fellow pepper freak. He grew them and had them officially measured, and damn, it turned out to be much hotter than I ever could have expected! I was very excited and motivated to continue with 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 different pepper freaks 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 it is completely insanely 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 this happens quite easily to some people, but to this day I have grown a little over 3000 different types of peppers and tasted almost as many, I have never tasted anything like this. And yes, I have tasted a lot of super hot ones and therefore have every right to speak! After my tongue went numb, the intense heat started 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 about 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 pods actually makes it unique. The heat is just a big plus and ensures that this wonder pepper will last a long time.
The yellow powder of this variety is particularly good. Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw Yellow responds 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 whether this variety will ever be surpassed!
