There are peppers, and then there is the Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper—a true icon of Caribbean cooking. Known for its fiery punch and fruity undertones, this pepper has become a symbol of island flavor. At IrieVeda, we honor its legacy by capturing its essence in products that balance heat, sweetness, and authenticity.
What makes the Scotch Bonnet so extraordinary is its dual personality. On the surface, it’s hot—very hot—ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units. But beneath that fire lies a surprising tropical sweetness. Notes of mango, papaya, and pineapple dance alongside the spice, creating a complexity you won’t find in any other chili. This is why chefs and home cooks treasure it—it elevates dishes with both intensity and depth.
In the middle of Caribbean kitchens, the Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper is more than an ingredient. It’s tradition. You’ll find it simmering in stews, enriching jerk marinades, and shaping hot sauces with its unmistakable kick. At IrieVeda, we celebrate this tradition by blending Scotch Bonnet peppers into seasonings and sauces that let you experience authentic island flavors no matter where you are.
Cooking with Scotch Bonnets is an adventure of flavor. Just a small amount can transform everyday meals into bold culinary experiences. Add it to seafood dishes for brightness, tuck it into vegetarian recipes for a punch of heat, or use it in sauces to awaken your taste buds. With IrieVeda’s carefully crafted blends, you can enjoy the pepper’s intensity while still appreciating its tropical notes.
But beyond its flavor, the Scotch Bonnet is part of a bigger story—the story of Caribbean creativity and resilience. Generations of cooks have used this pepper not only for spice, but also as a way of expressing culture and community through food.
At IrieVeda, we believe every dish should tell a story, and the Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper is one of the most vibrant stories of all. It’s not just heat on your plate—it’s heritage, heart, and a taste of the tropics.
