AAA - Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Mash

Magic Plant Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Mash

The Caribbean Classic—Tropical Heat with a Rich, Smoky-Sweet Finish.

Overview

Our natural Yellow Scotch Bonnet packs a significant heat at 100,000 to 350,000 (SHUs). Known for its bright and immediate sting, this pepper is a staple in island cuisine. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex smoky and fruity flavor! Our Yellow 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 sharp and upfront, 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 tropical aroma. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Yellow Scotch Bonnet peppers have a distinctive appearance with a squashed, crumpled shape and a vibrant yellow-orange color. They are often characterized by their resemblance to a "Tam o' Shanter" hat, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Scotch Bonnets are known to be the heartbeat of Caribbean 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 fruity tropical flavor of the Scotch Bonnet without the overwhelming heat.
