Scotch Bonnet Cappucinno Hot Pepper Seeds

The Scotch Bonnet Cappuccino Hot Pepper is a unique and flavorful variety of the well-known Scotch Bonnet pepper. This pepper stands out due to its distinct coffee-brown color and slightly flattened, wrinkled shape, which gives it a unique visual appeal in any garden. Known for its fruity, tangy flavor, the Scotch Bonnet Cappuccino brings both heat and complexity to a wide range of dishes.

With a heat level of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Scotch Bonnet Cappuccino offers a medium to hot level of heat, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy a spicy kick without the intense heat of the superhot varieties. Its flavor profile is fruity and slightly sweet, with earthy, smoky undertones that complement its heat. This makes it ideal for use in Caribbean-inspired salsas, sauces, and marinades.

The peppers grow to about 2 to 3 inches long and have a rounded, bell-like shape with pronounced wrinkling. When ripe, they transition from a green color to a rich coffee-brown shade, adding an exotic touch to your garden. The plants themselves are compact, reaching 2 to 3 feet in height, making them suitable for smaller garden spaces or container gardening.

The time from flowering to fruit ripening is around 80 to 90 days, and the plant thrives in warm, sunny conditions. Due to its moderate heat level and fruity flavor, this pepper is suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to grow a distinctive pepper variety.
