Description
The Red Scotch Bonnet is the classic ripe form of Jamaica's iconic Caribbean superhot. Its small bonnet-shaped pods ripen to brilliant red delivering 100,000-350,000 SHU with a distinctively fruity sweet flavor accented by tropical notes. It is the cornerstone of Caribbean cuisine used in jerk seasoning pepper sauces and traditional island cooking.
