Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree Ready to Eat 9 oz.

Magic Plant Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Puree

The Caribbean Classic—Tropical Fruitiness with a Serious Heat Kick.

Overview

Our natural Yellow Scotch Bonnet packs a powerful heat at 100,000 to 350,000 (SHUs). Our Scotch Bonnets have a distinct, sharp heat that hits quickly. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet, tropical, and apricot-like flavor! Our Yellow Scotch Bonnet Fermented Puree is very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, while the flavor is bright and inviting, the heat is significant, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Scotch Bonnet is a close relative of the Habanero, resulting in its similar heat level but a much sweeter, more floral profile. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Yellow Scotch Bonnet peppers have a distinctive appearance with a squashed, crumpled texture and a bright yellow-orange color. They are often characterized by their namesake shape, resembling a "Scotch Bonnet" or Tam o' Shanter hat.

Technical Specifications

The Experience

Scotch Bonnets are known to be the soul of Caribbean cooking! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Scotch Bonnets. Use our premium quality 9 oz. Fermented Puree once and you’ll be hooked forever! This puree is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fermented puree with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the tropical flavor of the Scotch Bonnet without the overwhelming heat.
