Description
The Bonda Ma Jacques is an iconic superhot pepper from the French Antilles, particularly Martinique and Guadeloupe. Its lantern-shaped pods ripen from green through yellow to orange with intense heat and a deeply fruity, floral flavor. A cornerstone of Caribbean Creole cuisine, it is used in traditional marinades, pepper sauces, and the spicy condiments that define the flavors of the French Caribbean islands.
