Description:
The Red Scotch Bonnet is one of the most recognizable hot peppers in the world. With different colored variants (think Yellow and Orange Scotch Bonnets), this variety provides great flavor with heat that feels a lot worse than what it actually is!
These hot pepper plants can reach as high as 4 ft. and produce wonderful bounties of these short, inch-and-a-half-long pepper pods. This fiery pepper will ripen from green to bright red and form into a wrinkly, globular bonnet shape. Expect these pods to mature later than usual within these short, bushy plants.
With fruity and smoky flavors, the Red Scotch Bonnet Pepper sounds delightful! But don't let the flavor fool you - this pepper has pretty substantial heat that has a sharp burn, scorching the tip of your tongue all the way down to the back of your throat! Handle these Caribbean scorchers with care!
