Chilli Pepper Scotch Bonnet

Chilli Scotch Bonnet plants are a favourite among chilli lovers, producing intensely hot peppers packed with a rich, sultry flavour. Scotch Bonnet chillies are famous for delivering explosive heat balanced by a sweet, fruity flavour with hints of tropical fruit and citrus. Unlike some aggressively harsh chillies, Scotch Bonnet peppers offer genuine depth of flavour beneath the fire. They are widely used in Caribbean cooking, making them ideal for hot sauces, jerk marinades, curries and spicy homemade recipes. Originating in the Caribbean and Central America, Scotch Bonnet chilli peppers belong to the species Capsicum chinense and has been cultivated for centuries, particularly in Jamaica where it’s become a cornerstone of Caribbean cuisine. The name for the distinctive lantern-shaped fruits comes from their resemblance to a traditional Scottish tam o’ shanter bonnet hat.
