Scotch Bonnet is a variety of chilli pepper that is commonly used in Caribbean cuisine. It is named for its shape, which resembles a Scottish tam o'shanter hat. The pepper has a heat rating of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units, making it among the hottest peppers anywhere.
Scotch Bonnet has a distinctive fruity and slightly sweet flavour that is often used in hot sauces, jerk marinades, and curries. It is also used to add heat and flavour to a variety of dishes such as soups, stews, and rice dishes.
When growing Scotch Bonnet peppers, it is important to provide them with warm temperatures and plenty of sunlight. They can be grown in a greenhouse or south-facing window and require regular watering and feeding. In the warmest parts of the UK they can be grown outdoors in a sunny, sheltered spot. The peppers can be harvested when they are green or left to ripen to their mature colour, which is usually a bright red or orange.
