ALL ABOUT THESE PEPPERS

Jamaican Yellow Peppers, Capsicum chinense, are small, wrinkled pods with a flattened, mushroom-like shape, typically measuring 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. They ripen from green to bright yellow, offering a crisp, pale yellow flesh with a fruity, citrusy flavor. With a heat level of 100,000–300,000 Scoville units, comparable to habaneros, these peppers are a staple in Caribbean cuisine, often used in hot sauces, salsas, and jerk seasoning.
