The defining chili of Caribbean and West African cuisine. Rounded, wrinkled pods with candy-like tropical sweetness and 100,000–350,000 Scoville units of heat. Grown in Uganda for jerk seasonings, pepper sauces, and craft hot-sauce brands worldwide.
Named for its resemblance to the Scottish Tam o' Shanter bonnet, this rounded, wrinkled chili is the flavour foundation of Caribbean cooking — Jamaican jerk, Trinidadian pepper sauce, Bajan seasoning, Haitian pikliz — and travels equally well into West African stews and pepper soups. Its signature is the collision of candy-like tropical sweetness with genuine, sustained heat.
Grown in Uganda's equatorial highlands and sun-dried whole, our Scotch Bonnet is a workhorse ingredient for hot sauce producers, jerk seasoning blenders, and Caribbean-inspired food brands worldwide.
The non-negotiable chili in authentic jerk pastes and rubs — blended with allspice, thyme, garlic, and scallion for jerk chicken and pork.
The base of Trinidadian and wider Caribbean pepper sauces — a fruity-hot condiment served with virtually every meal.
Bright, spicy pickled slaw of cabbage, carrot, and Scotch Bonnet — the traditional Haitian side condiment.
Used across Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone in pepper soup, jollof, egusi, and light soup for its clean fruity heat.
Widely used by craft hot sauce brands seeking fruity heat with body — from mustard-Bonnet sauces to garlic-Bonnet condiments.
Adds signature heat and aromatic sweetness to curry goat, oxtail stews, and Caribbean-style rice dishes.
