Jamaican Yellow Chili Peppers are celebrated for their vibrant color and intense heat, often ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). They are a staple in Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine, prized for not only their fiery bite but also their fruity, sweet flavor profile which can hint at tropical fruits like mango or pineapple. Historically, the Scotch Bonnet, including its yellow variant, has its roots in the Caribbean and has been integral to the region's culinary tradition for centuries, likely brought over during the Columbian Exchange and adapted over time to local tastes and conditions.
