The indigenous hot peppers of the Caribbean are renowned for their intense heat and aromatic flavors, making them some of the spiciest peppers in the world. Unlike many other hot pepper varieties, which belong to the Capsicum annuum species, the Caribbean’s indigenous landraces predominantly belong to Capsicum chinense Jacq.
The center of origin for Capsicum chinense is believed to be the Tropical Americas, specifically the northern regions of South America (Northern Brazil-Guyana-Venezuela), Central America, and the Caribbean Antilles. These regions have a rich history of cultivating and utilizing these flavorful peppers.
Hot peppers from the Caribbean are commonly used in their raw form, adding a fiery kick to salads, marinades, and food garnishes.

Furthermore, hot peppers can be preserved in different ways. They can be canned, pickled, transformed into jellies and relishes, or even dried or smoked, allowing their flavors to be enjoyed in various culinary applications.
