The Scotch Bonnet, a cherished Caribbean treasure, is easily recognised by its distinctive bonnet-like shape, echoing a traditional Scotsman’s cap. This prolific variety produces large, globular pods that mature from pale green to a vivid red, offering a visual and culinary punch. Renowned for its fruity, tropical flavour with a fiery kick, the Scotch Bonnet is a staple in Caribbean cuisine, adding depth and vibrant heat to everything from jerk dishes to sauces and stews.
