Scotch Bonnet Gelb Powder is obtained by grinding the yellow variant of this iconic Caribbean pepper, a cousin of the habanero with a sweet, fruity profile.
source plant, Capsicum chinense, produces small hat-shaped fruits, typical of Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine.
powder comes from fruits grown from seeds sown early, in January-February, in a heated seedbed, needed for full ripening of the fruits.
slow drying preserves the sweet, fruity aroma of Scotch Bonnet, followed by fine grinding that produces a vivid yellow powder with a distinctive scent.
it should be stored in an airtight container away from light and moisture, dosed carefully given the high heat level typical of this variety.
when handling it, gloves, safety goggles and a mask should be worn, as the concentrated powder can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
Scotch Bonnet Gelb Powder has a high heat level (100,000-350,000 SHU) with sweet fruity notes, ideal for Jamaican jerk chicken, Caribbean sauces and tropical fruit-based dishes.
it concentrates high doses of capsaicin, with stimulating effects on metabolism and circulation, plus a rich intake of vitamin C.
