AAA - Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree

Magic Plant Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree

Authentic Caribbean Heat—Concentrated Puree with a Smoky, Tropical Soul.

Overview

Our natural Yellow 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 essential to 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 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 closely related to the Habanero but is prized for its unique, bonnet-like shape and more savory flavor profile. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Yellow Scotch Bonnet peppers have a distinctive appearance with a crumpled, waxy texture and a bright sunny-yellow color. They are often characterized by their squat, "tam o' shanter" hat shape, giving them a classic and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Yellow Scotch Bonnets are known to be the soul 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' 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 smoky fruity flavor of the Scotch Bonnet without the overwhelming heat.
