Scotch Bonnet Pepper

Scotch Bonnet Pepper is a group of pungent, colorful peppers used worldwide in cuisines from Mexican and Central American salsas to Caribbean and Southeast Asian hot sauces; they're prized for heat, aroma and bright flavor. Per 100 g they are a notable source of vitamin C, with about 143.85mg. Nutritionally they are low in calories and fat while contributing fiber and a little protein, and they deliver vibrant phytochemicals that give both color and antioxidant activity. Beyond vitamins and fiber, hot peppers contain capsaicinoids (the compounds that make them hot) and carotenoids, which have been associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and may modestly boost metabolism and satiety.
