Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet
Species: Capsicum chinense | Origin: USA | Pungency: Very Hot
Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet is a variety that was discovered at a store in the USA called 'Papa Joe's Market' — thus the name 'Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet'. The plants have a compact growth habit and produce excellent yields of ribbed, bulbous-shaped chillies which start lime green and ripen to bright yellow-orange. Although this is a Scotch Bonnet variety, most of the chillies don't have the typical Scotch Bonnet phenotype that one would normally associate with other varieties, such as the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) Scotch Bonnet from Jamaica. However, some do occasionally have a slight Scotch Bonnet shape to them. The chillies can grow very large, often times larger than golf ball size, and most have a very slight pimply skin texture. Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet chillies have a strong citrus-like aroma and a tropical fruity flavour and work very well in salsas, sauces, stews, stir fries and Caribbean and Yucatecan cuisines.
Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet should not be confused with another similarly named yellow Capsicum chinense variety called 'Papa Dreadie Scotch Bonnet', which was discovered in Jamaica and then taken to Texas, USA, by Texas musician and chilli-head Erin Mason, who spent many years selectively growing it to bring out its best traits.
