Details
Also called the Yellow Squash pepper and the Jamaican Yellow Mushroom pepper. This famous Jamaican Scotch Bonnet bears squash-like peppers with an extremely hot flavor, rivaling that of many Habaneros. Fruits have a good, fruity flavor and an interesting combination of sweet and spice that make them popular for hot sauces, eating fresh, pickling, or used as a garnish. Compact, well-yielding plants bear an abundance of bright yellow, thin-skinned hot peppers. Non-Isolated.
