Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Peppers

详情

Scotch bonnet, is a variety of chili pepper that belongs to the same species as the habanero. A cultivar of the habanero, it is one of the hottest peppers in the world. Most Scotch Bonnets have a heat rating of **0,**0–**0,**0 Scoville units for comparison, most jalapeno peppers have a heat rating of 2,**0 to 8,**0 on the Scoville scale. These peppers are used to flavour many different dishes and cuisines worldwide. The Scotch bonnet has a flavour distinct from its habanero cousin giving jerk dishes (pork/chicken) and other Caribbean dishes their unique flavour. Fresh, ripe scotch bonnets change from green to colours ranging from pumpkin orange to scarlet red. Ripe peppers are prepared for cooking by cutting out the seeds inside the fruit which can be saved for cultivation or other culinary uses
