Description
The Scotch Bonnet pepper is a cultivar of the habanero and is among the hottest peppers anywhere. It is very often used in Caribbean cooking, where it originated and is widely grown. Dishes like jerk chicken or Jamaican Hot Pepper Sauce require the flavor and heat of the Scotch Bonnet. Its size ranges from 1 to 2 1/2 inches in length and from 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The flavor is fruity and bright, with a bit of sweetness.If you've ever tried a habanero pepper, you know it carries some serious heat. The Scotch Bonnet is equally hot, measuring in at 100,000-350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Compare that to a jalapeno pepper, which averages about 5,000 SHU, and you'll understand the heat level.
