Scotch bonnet pepper also called Bonney pepper is a variety of chili named after its resemblance to a hat with a sweet and hot flavor. It is stouter in shape, spherical, a little more squashed, and smaller (3.25-4cm) compared to habanero pepper. When ripening, it changes color from pale green to yellow or scarlet red and some other varieties of this pepper ripen to orange peach or chocolate brown. Our scotch bonnet pepper is grown in Uganda with good fertile soils and adequate rainfall. It is harvested and well dried to keep the taste and flavor fully intact. Our farmers use natural methods of farming guaranteeing non-GMO products

It has a similar apple-cherry tomato flavor, spherical and more squashed in shape with 3.25-4 cm in diameter.
