SCOTCH BONNET XXX HOT CHILLI
Scotch bonnet, also known as scotty bons, bonney peppers or Caribbean red peppers is a variety of chilli pepper. It is named for its resemblance to a tam o shanter hat. Found mainly in the Caribbean islands, it is also in Guyana (where it is called the ball-of-fire pepper), the Maldives Islands (where it is called mirus).
Most Scotch bonnets have a heat rating of 100,000–350,000 Scoville units. For comparison, most jalapeno peppers have a heat rating of 2,500 to 8,000 on the Scoville scale.
These peppers are used to flavour many different dishes and cuisines worldwide and are often used in hot sauces and condiments. The Scotch bonnet has a sweeter flavour and stouter shape, distinct from its habanero cousin with which it is often confused, and gives pork and chicken dishes and other Caribbean dishes their unique flavour.
