Fireball Pepper

€3,25 EUR

An innocent cherry sized pepper that will light your taste buds!

Scotch Bonnet pepper (family Solanaceae – botanical name: Capsicum chinense), is part of the strongest pepper family. It is also called bonney pepper, beef bonnet, Scotty Bons or red Caribbean pepper. Between 100,000 and 325,000 scovills, it is mainly found in Guyana (where it is called fireball) and the Caribbean islands. A cousin of the Habanero pepper, reaching about the same size and similar colors, it is distinguished by its more marked ribs. It is frequently used to make spicy sauces thanks to its savory fruity taste.
