Dried Scotch Bonnets – Fiery Caribbean Heat Description:Turn up the heat with our Dried Scotch Bonnet Chillies, packed with bold, tropical flavor and serious kick. These little firecrackers are sun-ripened and dried to preserve their natural fruitiness and searing heat – think habanero’s wilder, more flavorful cousin. Grown without any nasties right here in NZ, our Scotch Bonnets are perfect for infusing stews, sauces, jerk marinades, or anything that needs a hit of heat with a sweet, peppery edge. Each pack contains whole dried pods – just a little goes a long way. ⸻ Tips for Using Dried Scotch Bonnets: • Rehydrate & Blend: Soak in hot water for 15–20 minutes, then blend into sauces, soups, or marinades. • Infuse Oils or Vinegar: Drop a pod into your favorite oil or vinegar for a fiery homemade infusion. • Crush & Sprinkle: Use a spice grinder or mortar and pestle to make flakes for pizza, pasta, or seasoning mixes. • Cook Whole: Add a whole pod to soups or stews for a slow-release heat.
