### - Red Scotch Bonnet Chili Pepper Mash 5 gal. / 40 lb. Pail

Scotch Bonnet chili pepper fermented mash is a popular ingredient in Caribbean cuisine known for its intense heat and unique flavor profile. The Scotch Bonnet chili pepper, also known as the Caribbean Red pepper, originates from the Caribbean islands and is closely associated with Jamaican cuisine. It gets its name from its resemblance to a traditional Scottish bonnet cap. The Scotch Bonnet pepper belongs to the Capsicum chinense species and is not a crossbreed. However, it is closely related to the habanero pepper, sharing similar characteristics in terms of heat and fruity flavors. Our premium Scotch Bonnet chili peppers offer a distinctive flavor characterized by a fruity and tropical sweetness, followed by a significant level of heat (100K to 350K SHUs). They have a unique combination of fruity, citrusy, and floral notes that add depth to dishes.

Culinary Uses: Our quality Scotch Bonnet chili pepper fermented mash is a popular ingredient in Caribbean and Jamaican cuisines. It adds intense heat and flavor to dishes such as jerk chicken, jerk pork, curries, stews, and hot sauces. The fermented mash is often used as a base for marinades, dressings, and condiments. Don’t forget about spicy cocktails! While not as common as in culinary applications, Scotch Bonnet chili pepper fermented mash can be used to add a spicy kick to cocktails. It pairs well with tropical and citrus flavors, making it a unique addition to drinks like spicy margaritas, Bloody Marys, or tropical rum-based cocktails.

Different Uses of Chili Mash:

Fermented chili mash, made from Scotch Bonnet peppers, is a versatile ingredient in the Caribbean and other cuisines. It's commonly used for:

• Hot Sauces: Chili mash serves as the base for many Caribbean hot sauces. It provides both heat and flavor, creating a distinctive sauce that's drizzled on a variety of dishes.

• Marinades: The fermented mash can be mixed with other seasonings to create spicy marinades for meats and seafood.

• Cooking Enhancer: A small spoonful of chili mash can be added to soups, stews, and rice dishes to infuse them with a spicy kick.

Our Scotch Bonnet Naturally Fermented Chili Pepper Mash is known for its high heat levels, ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). This puts them in the range of habanero peppers and makes them one of the hottest chili peppers available. 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.
