Jamaican Hot Yellow

Jamaican Hot Yellow Chilli Seeds. A cross between C.Annuum X C. Chinense from Jamaica which produces loads of yellow pods that are lumpy and upside down cone shaped. A popular chilli in the Caribbean, this chilli comes primarily in yellow and red (Jamaican Hot Red) variations. A chilli that has many different names - "Jamaican Mushroom", "Jamaican Hot Yellow / Red" & "Jamaican Gold" are but a few. This chilli is often referred to in South Africa as a Scotch Bonnet, but this chilli is predominantly C. Annuum and while the pheno may look like a Scotch Bonnet, this variety is not a Scotch Bonnet. Very tasty and hot chillies that have a definite Annuum burn and flavour to them with a subtle citrusy habanero flavour, but not the searing heat of the Habanero.
