DescriptionThe Scotch Bonnet is a Caribbean cooking essential, producing the classic bonnet-shaped pods that ripen from green through orange to a deep red. Slightly hotter than a standard habanero, Scotch Bonnet Red has a distinctive sweet, fruity flavor with tropical undertones that no other pepper can replicate.

The key ingredient in authentic jerk seasoning, Caribbean pepper sauces, and island-style cooking. Pairs well with allspice, thyme, garlic, citrus, mango, chicken, pork, and seafood.
