[HL]

...the Trinadad Scorpion pepper.

It's about 1.2 million SHU (Scoville Unit).

Scotch Bonnet about 350,000 SHU

Scotch bonnet is not even as hot as bird pepper in Jamaica. Scotch bonnet is about flavor, not absolute heat!

[Gamma]

that is reserved for the ghost pepper

Bought and planted one ghost pepper seedling yesterday. never grew them before.

Still waiting for my scotch bonnet seeds to germinate....

Tell them Willi, flavor it is, the T&T pepper is hotter, but try make jerk seasoning with, but there is a verity of Scotch bonnet, the mauve color that is off the scale.

BTW, Scotch Bonnet is also very prevalent in Trinidad; more people use it in pepper sauce and to cook with than the Scorpion pepper. They also have one here they call "mudda in law". Scorpion and MIL are for people who have tongues and mouths lined with chain mail.

Another hot pepper is the ghost pepper.
