These peppers will only grow to be about 1 1/2" in length even at full maturity, but will be packed with extreme heat and flavor nevertheless. Peppers will initially be green, but will turn a brilliant red color as they ripen and mature.
As with most types of peppers, it's often best to snip the fruit from the plant with shears (leaving a small amount of stem behind on the plant) while also trying to minimize skin contact with the peppers themselves due to the high levels of capsaicin contained in the flesh of the fruit.
For Scotch Bonnet peppers, it's highly recommended that you wear gloves when harvesting them (and also avoid touching your face or eyes until you've thoroughly washed your hands after handling them).
