I knew about the freezing but I did not know about using them whole. Can't wait to try that!

I never really understood how to use peppers until today. Thanks for the video!

Had these today, thought IT was a small Bell pepper! 🤯 I changed nu mind.

Heat aside, the flavour is exquisite.

Thanks...I'm also growing them here in Toronto....The Scotch Bonnets are Huge but still green. Habaneros are just turning colour. Never knew you could freeze them so thanks for that!

I didn't know about using a whole pepper! I'm going to try that the next time I make fajitas. I usually discard the seeds myself, but really informative.

Peppers are my life, I'll take on any spice eater!. I am Jamaican, big up Jamaica. I use a bottle of Grace scotch bonnet pepper a month ;)

Thanks for the explanations of the Scotch Bonnet Peppers.

Not trying to be difficult here, but I grow Habs and Scotch Bonnets. To me it looks like you have Orange Habs and Red Savinas.

Great Article, very helpful. I never knew they were soooo hot, because I never let them burst until today

I am looking forward to getting started on my first hot pepper plants. Thanks for the tips!

Tip: when using whole pepper in cooking, try containing it in a cheesecloth so in case it does burst you still can trap it.

After handling hot peppers make sure you wash your hands good. A friend of mine in Jamaica after cutting open a lot of scotch bonnets (he wanted the seed for replanting) forgot, and then later on, he had to take a leak in his bathroom. Needless to say, he was in a lot of pain and had to take a cooled shower to cool the area he touched.

Returned from a trip to Montego Bay and our first experience with the Scotch Bonnet pepper. I ordered seeds online and have begun growing them on my back porch in Philadelphia area. Looking forward to harvesting them at the end of the summer. Thanks for sharing your video.

Thanks for such an informative video. I did not know you could freeze them. This is a game changer! 😀

Thanks for the tips! I'll be storing mine over the winter now instead of canning them.

[marieorchid]

[alisonwilliams]

I'm not big on eating the peppers I grow by themselves. I enjoy putting them in my sauces, salsas, and dry rubs. But I do try them out of curiosity. I have some highborne can bahamian red sb's and they are probably the most fruitiest and most tasteful pepper I've ever tried. Make no mistake, the heat is up there too. They got some kick when you stress them and it moves all over your mouth. Especially when trying to enjoy a tasty beer lol. I can't wait until harvest to put these in a sauce! I love growing peppers. Of all the peppers I grow in my garden (Carolina Reaper, red & orange habs, orange ghost, Thai chilies, jalapenos, and scotch bonnets) these are the best tasting peppers. And I will eat one from time to time just to taste that fruity flavor they have. The heat is worth it. Trust me! They have an awesome aroma too. Like a fruity Shiner beer.
