Description
The Grenada Seasoning pepper is a Caribbean variety from the island of Grenada, closely related to the Scotch Bonnet in appearance but bred specifically for its fragrant, aromatic flavor with minimal heat. Its small, wrinkled pods are used extensively in Grenadian cooking as a foundational seasoning ingredient in marinades, stews, and the island's traditional dishes. Valued above all for the complex tropical aroma it contributes without overwhelming a dish with capsaicin heat.
