Dehydrated Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper Powder
Nerpy's Scotch Bonnet Pepper Powder is crafted with care and dehydrated at low heat to retain its bold, authentic flavour. This fiery powder is a versatile ingredient, perfect for adding a Caribbean kick to pizza, dry rubs, soups, stews and more.
It's made from 100% Jamaican Scotch bonnet peppers with no salt or sugar added. Our peppers are hand-picked on our family farm in Jamaica and dehydrated to perfection. They contain absolutely no preservatives or artificial ingredients. This premium seasoning brings intense Jamaican heat straight to your table — the ultimate choice for spice lovers who want clean, natural ingredients in their pantry.
Usage Caution:
This powder packs intense heat! Use with extreme caution, and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and nose.
Pure Scotch Bonnet Heat in Powder Form
While Scotch bonnet flakes are ideal for pizza, dry rubs and recipes where visible texture adds appeal, Nerpy's Scotch Bonnet Pepper Powder takes the same 100% pure Jamaican Scotch bonnet pepper and grinds it into a fine, uniform powder — perfect for seamless integration into spice blends, sauces, batters and any dish where you want intense Scotch bonnet heat without visible pieces.
Made from peppers hand-picked at Nerpy's family farm in Jamaica and dehydrated at low heat to preserve their full natural flavour and essential oils, this powder delivers the authentic, fruity-hot character of real Scotch bonnet — not the diluted, generic heat found in most commercially available chili powders.
How to Use Scotch Bonnet Pepper Powder
The fine texture of this powder makes it ideal for applications where flakes would be too coarse:
- Spice blends: Add to custom jerk seasoning, curry powders or dry rub blends for authentic Caribbean heat
- Sauces & marinades: Dissolves cleanly into hot sauce bases, barbecue glazes and liquid marinades
- Baking: Incorporate into savoury biscuits, cornbread or chili-chocolate brownies for a Caribbean heat kick
- Popcorn & snacks: Toss with popcorn, roasted nuts or chickpeas for an addictive spicy snack
- Soups & stews: Stir in at any stage of cooking for precise heat control
- Eggs & breakfast: A pinch over fried eggs or folded into an omelette brings Caribbean morning energy
