Scotch Bonnet - Scoville, goût et utilisation

Scotch Bonnets look like squashed bonnets, bright and cheerful. Do not trust the shape; the heat is fierce and playful. Each bite starts with tropical fruit, then swings into a deep burn. Jamaican cooks rely on the pepper for jerk, escovitch fish, and pepper pot soups. Trinidadian and Barbadian makers ferment it for signature sauces. The flesh is thick yet juicy, perfect for pounding with scallions and thyme. Try a small sliver in mango salsa, or blend it with papaya and vinegar for table sauce. The range sits between 100,000 and 350,000 SHU. That is serious power - sanctioned by the Ministry of Island Heat. Le Scotch Bonnet mesure généralement 100,000-350,000 SHU (Très chaud). Apparaît à travers Caribbean, Jamaica dans les condiments, les cornichons et les marinades. Use Scotch Bonnets in jerk marinades, curry goat, pepper sauces, and stewed beans. Blend with scallions, garlic, vinegar, and allspice for Jamaican marinade base. Add slivers to rice and peas, mango chutney, or callaloo for brightness. They ferment well for mash style hot sauces, and dry into piercing flakes. Pair with tropical fruit, coconut milk, and grilled meats. The pepper's aroma survives cooking, so a single pod seasons large batches. Voir les sauces utilisant Scotch Bonnet

Histoire et culture

Scotch Bonnets emerged in the Caribbean, likely from Capsicum chinense brought by Spanish and Portuguese ships. Island farmers selected pods with bonnet shapes and fruity aroma. The pepper became central to Jamaican jerk traditions by the 18th century, seasoning meats along with allspice and thyme. Through Caribbean migration, seeds traveled to the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. Today, the Scotch Bonnet remains a cultural symbol in Jamaican cuisine, while global seed companies distribute multiple color strains for growers worldwide.

Botanique et notes de culture

▼
Grow Scotch Bonnets in warm, humid climates with full sun. Start seeds indoors 10 weeks before transplanting, since they germinate slowly. Maintain soil temperatures near 28°C for best emergence. Transplant after nights stay above 16°C. Plants reach about 70 cm tall and branch heavily, so provide space and airflow. Expect 100 to 120 days to first ripe pods. In cooler regions, greenhouse tunnels or large containers help extend the season. Regular feeding with calcium rich fertilizer reduces blossom end rot.
