Red Jamaican chili peppers, a popular variety, are renowned for their fiery heat and distinctive fruity flavor, often described as having hints of mango or apple. These peppers, hailing from the Caribbean with significant use in West African cuisine, possess a heat that ranges from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making them some of the hottest culinary chilies. Their history is tied closely to the Columbian Exchange, where they were introduced to the Old World from the Americas, enriching cuisines with their intense flavor and heat. Red Jamaican chili peppers are not just about heat; they contribute a sweet, almost tropical taste to dishes, playing a pivotal role in traditional recipes like jerk chicken or various hot sauces.
