The Scotch Bonnet is a small, brightly colored chili pepper, typically found in shades of red, yellow, and orange. It is known for its distinctive shape, resembling a tam o' shanter hat. This pepper is commonly used in Caribbean cuisine, particularly in dishes like jerk chicken and pepper sauce, adding a fruity and spicy flavor. With a heat level ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units, the Scotch Bonnet is one of the hottest peppers in the world. It is often compared to the habanero pepper, but the Scotch Bonnet has a unique sweetness that enhances its culinary appeal.
