Dried Scotch Bonnets

Dried Scotch Bonnets – Fiery Caribbean Heat

Description:
Turn up the heat with our Dried Scotch Bonnet Chillies, packed with bold, tropical flavor and serious kick. These little firecrackers are sun-ripened and dried to preserve their natural fruitiness and searing heat – think habanero’s wilder, more flavorful cousin.

Grown without any nasties right here in NZ, our Scotch Bonnets are perfect for infusing stews, sauces, jerk marinades, or anything that needs a hit of heat with a sweet, peppery edge.

Each pack contains whole dried pods – just a little goes a long way.
