Bahamian Goat

Species: Capsicum chinense | Origin: Bahamas | Pungency: Very Hot

Bahamian Goat is a variety from the Gladstone Road Agricultural Centre (GRAC) in the Bahamas. The plants have a compact spreading growth habit and produce excellent yields of ribbed, Scotch Bonnet-shaped chillies which start green and ripen through yellow and then to light orange with a slight salmon coloured hue. True to type fruit has the classic Scotch Bonnet shape and some may also develop a small scorpion-like stinger tail. However, although there are stable accessions in existence which produce mostly true to type fruit, many plants tend to produce irregular-shaped fruit with the occasional ones being more true to type, something which is quite common with many Scotch Bonnet-types. Bahamian Goat chillies have a slightly floral aroma and a strong delicious fruity flavour and work very well in salsas, sauces, stews, stir fries and Caribbean and Yucatecan cuisines.
