We always want more photos of Chocolate Scotch Bonnet. Every photo you add is credited to you.
A very hot C. chinense from Jamaica, 150,000 to 250,000 SHU. The pods hang down, 1 to 2 inches long, green going to brown, bonnet-shaped with thin walls. Plants reach 30 to 36 inches with white flowers.
Bonnet-shaped pods with a smoky character, habanero-level heat and high yields. Good fresh or dried to powder.
Universal Pepper Nomenclature
One code for one pepper, no matter what people call it. Universal Pepper Nomenclature sits behind the names people use and describes the pepper itself: the species, the color it ripens to, its skin, the shape of the pod, and how hot it runs. The last three digits tell apart peppers that match on all of that.
Six parts, always in this order, always split by hyphens. The WikiPepper Foundation board issues every code. Editors cannot create or edit a code.
