Jamaican Yellow 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 YELLOW variety which is even more difficult to find than the red variety and other varieties.

Storage of Pepper Seeds:
Store seeds away from children (the seeds themselves can be hot when in contact with skin or consumed!). Keep pepper seeds sealed in their packaging and in a cool, dry, dark place, or in a fridge. Never store them in a freezer as the sudden temperature drop is likely to kill them. Do not leave pepper seeds in direct sunlight as the heat generated may also kill them or decrease their germination rate.
