Scotch Bonnet Peppers are Caribbean’s signature hot pepper, named for resemblance to tam o’ shanter (Scottish bonnet). Rating 100,000-350,000 SHU (similar to habanero), they offer extreme heat with distinctively sweet, fruity flavor and slight smokiness. Absolutely essential in Jamaican jerk seasoning and Caribbean hot sauces. While often compared to habaneros, Scotch bonnets have more complex, sweeter flavor profile. The squashed shape and thin walls pack intense heat and aroma. Available in yellow, orange, and red varieties. Brings authentic Caribbean flavor to dishes.
