The Scotch Bonnet Trinidad Red is the red variety of the Scotch Bonnet and comes from Trinidad Tobago. It is as hot and flavourful as its relatives. The scotch bonnet is one of the hottest chillies in the world and is the Caribbean equivalent of the habanero chili. What`s more, it also stands out with an exceptionally tropical-fruity taste and develops a rich, multi-sided flavour, which some people say is reminiscent of apricots. Unfortunately, this special flavour is often lost when the peppers are heated up or dried out.
This chili needs lots of sun and warmth, which is why it doesn`t quite reach the same proportions here as it does in its native Caribbean islands where it is an essential ingredient in the local cuisine, used in many dishes including mango or papaya salsas, grilled pork or fish. As the fruits have a very thin outer wall, they are particularly well-suited to drying.
