AAA - Red Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Red Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree

The Spirit of the Caribbean—Intense Heat with a Rich, Tropical Sweetness.

Overview

Our natural Red Scotch Bonnet packs a significant punch, averaging between 100,000 and 350,000 (SHUs). Unlike "creeper" peppers, the Scotch Bonnet provides an immediate, sharp heat that is the backbone of island cuisine worldwide. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet, floral, and slightly smoky flavor! Our Red Scotch Bonnet ground pepper, crushed flakes, dry whole pods, and fermented puree are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is felt immediately, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Scotch Bonnet is a close relative of the Habanero, resulting in its popular heat level and fruity aroma. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Scotch Bonnet peppers have a distinctive appearance with a squashed, "bonnet-like" shape and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their crumpled, four-lobed texture, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Red Scotch Bonnets are known to be the essential ingredient for authentic gourmet 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' Scotch Bonnets. 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 puree 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 fruity sweet flavor of the Scotch Bonnet without the overwhelming heat.
