### - Yellow Scotch Bonnet Pepper Mash 55 gal. / 485 lb. Drum

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.

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. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects.
