AAA - Green Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Green Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree

The Caribbean Soul—Bright, Tropical Heat with a Savory Herbal Twist.

Overview

Our natural Green Scotch Bonnet packs a significant tropical punch, averaging between 100,000 and 350,000 (SHUs). Unlike the fully ripened red or yellow varieties, the Green Scotch Bonnet provides a more savory, herbal, and slightly crisp heat that is a cornerstone of authentic Caribbean and West African cooking. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex citrusy and tropical flavor! Our Green Scotch Bonnet fermented puree is very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is felt immediately and hits the back of the throat, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Scotch Bonnet is a close cousin to the Habanero, but is prized for its more distinct sweetness and aroma. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Green Scotch Bonnet peppers have a distinctive appearance with a squat, squashed-cap shape that resembles a traditional Scottish "Tam O' Shanter" hat. They are characterized by their smooth, waxy skin and firm texture, providing a fresh and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Scotch Bonnets are known to be the undisputed star of Caribbean jerk and pepper sauces! 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' bonnets. Use our premium quality chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This puree is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, jerk marinades, soups, and rice dishes. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Looking for a Custom Kick?

Dilute the heat: If you want the tropical aroma with less intensity, you can dilute our Green Scotch Bonnet puree by mixing it with our milder peppers like our Green Ancho Peppers or our Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento). This will allow you to enjoy the savory, herbal notes of the Scotch Bonnet without the overwhelming sting.
