AAA - Green Scotch Bonnet Pepper Mash

Magic Plant Green Scotch Bonnet Pepper Mash

The Caribbean Essential—Herbaceous Heat with a Bright, Tropical Aroma.

Overview

Our natural Green Scotch Bonnet packs a significant punch, averaging between 100,000 and 350,000 (SHUs). Unlike the red variety, the green mash provides a crisp, sharp heat that is respected by Caribbean chefs worldwide. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex herbaceous and tropical flavor! Our Green Scotch Bonnet ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented mash are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is immediate and bright, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Scotch Bonnet is a staple of West Indian cuisine, and the green version is prized for its garden-fresh profile. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Scotch Bonnet peppers have a distinctive appearance with a squashed, bonnet-like shape and a waxy, vibrant green color. They are often characterized by their deeply lobed texture, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Green Scotch Bonnets are known to be the backbone of authentic island cooking! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' peppers. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fermented mash with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the bright tropical flavor of the Scotch Bonnet without the overwhelming heat.
