Dundicuts are a variety of small, round (approx. 1/2" to 1" diameter), dark red chili peppers grown in Pakistan. Dundicuts are similar in size and flavor to Scotch bonnet peppers, but not as hot, and are of a different species. A major commercial spice vendor describes dundicuts as "quite hot, with a full-bodied, complex flavor. A single crushed pepper will add heat and flavor to a dish for two."[1] Dundicuts have a heat rating of 55,000-65,000 Scoville Units.[1]
