Scotch Bonnet Pepper

The Scotch Bonnet Pepper category is dedicated to one of the most iconic peppers of the Caribbean, known for its fiery heat balanced by a sweet, fruity flavor.

Popular in Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, and other parts of the Caribbean, Scotch bonnets are also used in West African and even some South American kitchens to bring bold spice to traditional dishes.

This category highlights how Scotch bonnets shape flavor across cuisines: they are blended into Haitian green seasoning (epis) for marinades and soups, add rich depth to a hearty Instant Pot spicy beef barley stew, and create a vibrant kick in a healthy Haitian-style creole spicy shrimp pasta.

They also shine in jerk cooking traditions, where Scotch bonnets are a key ingredient in jerk seasoning blends featured in the Jerk Fajita Trio for that signature smoky, fiery Caribbean heat.
