Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnet

The Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnet is a type of chili pepper that is native to Jamaica and is widely used in Caribbean cuisine. It is a small, red, and extremely spicy pepper, with a unique, fruity flavor that is both sweet and hot.

The pepper is named after its shape, which resembles a Scottish bonnet or tam o'shanter hat. The skin of the pepper is smooth and glossy, and it has a round, plump shape with a distinctive "nipple" at the stem end. It typically measures between 1 and 2 inches in length.

The Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnet is known for its high heat level, which can range from 100,000 to 350,000 on the Scoville scale, making it one of the hottest peppers in the world. Despite its intense heat, it is a popular ingredient in Caribbean dishes such as jerk chicken and pork, as well as in hot sauces, marinades, and salsas.
