About Bonnet pepper

Bonnet peppers, known for their distinctive shape and fiery flavor, are small, bright-hued peppers originating from the Caribbean. They are a staple in many Caribbean, West African, and Latin American cuisines, often used to add heat and depth to soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. Packed with nutrients, bonnet peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports immune health, and contain vitamin A, essential for eye health and skin. They are also rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation and protect against chronic diseases. Additionally, bonnet peppers contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, which may boost metabolism and promote heart health. However, their intense heat can be overwhelming for some individuals, so they should be consumed in moderation. Whether you enjoy them raw or cooked, these vibrant peppers are sure to spice up your meals while delivering a host of nutritional benefits.
