UNIQUE CREEK HOMESTEAD SEEDS: All of our seeds are grown right here on our Unique Creek Homestead and not sourced from elsewhere. All seeds are collected each growing season and are 1-year old or less, stored in air-tight Mason jars. Seeds are harvested and labeled for storage each season, one plant/seed type at a time so seeds do not get mixed by accident during the process! The seeds we use at the start of each growing season come from the exact same seeds we sell!
ABOUT THESE SEEDS: The yellow Scotch Bonnet is a fiery Caribbean chili pepper (Capsicum chinense) famous for its bright lemon-yellow color, unique bonnet-like shape, and a high heat level of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). It features a distinctively sweet, tropical, and citrus-forward flavor profile that makes it essential for authentic jerk seasoning, hot sauces, and traditional Caribbean dishes.
Key Facts
Heat Level: 100,000–350,000 SHU (comparable to a habanero).Flavor Profile: Bright, fruity, and sweet with citrus undertones.
Appearance: Squat, somewhat flattened, and wrinkled pods resembling a traditional Scottish tam o' shanter hat, measuring about 1.5 to 2 inches across.
Plant Size: Bushy upright plants growing 2 to 4 feet tall.
Days to Maturity: Roughly 90 to 110 days from transplanting.
Culinary Uses
Jerk Seasoning: A core ingredient in authentic Jamaican jerk marinades for chicken and pork.
Hot Sauces & Salsas: Pairs exceptionally well with garlic, thyme, allspice, vinegar, and tropical fruits.
Preparation Tip: The intense heat resides mostly in the seeds and white inner placenta, which can be removed to tone down the spiciness while retaining the fruity aroma
