Scotch Bonnet | Hot Pepper

Scotch bonnet peppers can add a fruity, fiery flavor to many dishes, including salsas, stews, and jerk cooking. They have a unique flavor profile with hints of apple, cherry, and tomato, and some say they have a good balance of taste and spice. Compared to Habaneros, they are both undeniably hot, but Scotch Bonnets have a slightly sweeter, fruitier taste than Habaneros, which have a more complex flavor with notes of smokiness and citrus. It will change color as it ripens from green, to yellow, to orange, to red.
