Product Description

Jamaican Hot Red Scotch Bonnet Pepper: Very compact, densely foliaged plants bear an abundance of bright red, thin-skinned hot peppers that are shaped like a tam o' shanter. Interesting shape and spicy taste make this pepper good to eat fresh, pickle, or use as a garnish. Very, Very Hot! Grown in Ohio. HOT PEPPERS: When Wilbur Scoville first devised a means to test the heat of peppers, his hottest entry then came in at 20,000 units. Habanero and Thai chilies can go as high as 60,000. Compare that to the sweet bell pepper at zero. When hot peppers are consumed, capsaicinoids bind with pain receptors in the mouth and throat that are responsible for sensing heat. Once activated by the capsaicinoids, these receptors send a message to the brain that the person has consumed something hot. The brain responds to the burning sensation by raising the heart rate, increasing perspiration and release of endorphins. Hot peppers should be eaten with caution!

    Super fast shipping and great packing job on the live plants. Both plants I received look very hearty and they seem to be thriving in the ground (mid spring planting).
