Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnet Pepper Seeds
Scotch Bonnet peppers (or Bahamian, Bahama Mama, Jamaican Hot or Martinique Peppers) are EXTREMELY HOT and closely related to the Habanero but less common. The flavor is slightly different, which some people prefer. Like the Habanero, Scotch Bonnets are spherical, although more squashed in shape and smaller.
Native to the Caribbean, Scotch Bonnet Peppers can be found in green, yellow, orange, white, brown and red as well as multi-toned. This is the RED variety.
