Fresh Scotch Bonnet chillies are famous for their fiery heat and distinctive fruity flavour. Named for their resemblance to a traditional Scottish tam o' shanter bonnet, these colourful peppers ripen to a vibrant red and develop delicious tropical notes of mango, apricot and citrus.

Typically measuring 100,000–350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), Scotch Bonnet chillies deliver an intense heat balanced by exceptional flavour. A favourite throughout the Caribbean, they're prized for their unique combination of sweetness and spice.

Ideal for jerk seasoning, curries, rice dishes, tropical salsas and homemade hot sauces where their fruity flavour can really shine.

Fresh chillies keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge. All chillies freeze well and slicing and pickling is another way to preserve chillies.

Not Scotch Bonnet peppers

These are not Scotch Bonnet peppers.

They are Capsicum annuum varieties commonly known as Jamaican mushroom or Jamaican hot, and they are being mis-sold as Scotch Bonnets. All of the images shown are of Jamaican mushroom peppers, which makes this mislabelling particularly surprising.

True Scotch Bonnet peppers are Capsicum chinense. The peppers being sold here are clearly Capsicum annuum. You can tell by the larger calyx and the fact that only a single fruit grows from each node.

These peppers will categorically not have the same flavour as habanero-type chillies. In fact, they tend to have little to no aroma or distinctive flavour—just a mild sweetness. Heat levels can vary widely, from moderately hot to completely heatless.

Thanks for your review. This is something we’re actively working on. During our trials with this variety, we noticed that some of the phenotypes from the same parental lineage exhibited signs of being more flattened and akin to the Jamaican Mushroom, while many others were more chinense-like. And indeed, across multiple seasons we have seem a plethora of phenotypes and the flavour has been what we would expect from a Scotch Bonnet. However, we are working towards releasing a new cultivar SDCF Scotch Bonnet cultivar. It is worth noting that although the term Scotch Bonnet is generally considered to have originated from the resemblance to the traditional Scottish Tam O' Shanter bonnet, in our experience, across the Caribbean there is a wide range of phenotypes that are commonly referred to as ‘Scotch Bonnet,’ and some of these include cultivars that look and taste like a Jamaican Mushroom and some that are basic Habanero-like shapes.

Scotch Bonnets.

Absolute perfect chilli for homemade jerk sauce. Great flavour and heat. Delivery and quality of product was amazing.

Big and juicy

I was amazed at the size and quality of SDCF scotch bonnet chillies.

They tasted very fruity and had a great heat to them. In fact they were the best I've ever tasted.

Excellent chillies

I purchased these scotch bonnets for a fundraising Caribbean vegan supper night. They were superb quality fresh and vibrant. They gave a wonderful authentic flavour to our Pepperpot Stew and our mixed bean curry.
Delivery and service also excellent.
