DescriptionThe Yellow Scotch Bonnet is a Caribbean kitchen staple with very hot heat and a bright, fruity, tropical flavor that sets it apart from other hot peppers. These squat, bonnet-shaped pods ripen to a vibrant yellow and are essential for authentic jerk seasoning, pepper sauces, and Caribbean cooking.

Perfect for hot sauces, salsas, marinades, and spicy Caribbean dishes. Pairs well with garlic, onions, tomatoes, citrus, vinegar, allspice, thyme, chicken, pork, and seafood.
