100000-300000 HU

Habanero Chiles are the hottest chile. Behind the heat is a fruity flavor that makes these chiles a wonderful way to spark up a dish. It is round, oblong chile about 3/4 wide. Habanero means havana-like, a reference to its possible origins. It's the only pepper grown in the Yucatan that has no Mayan name. Speculation suggests the Habanero originated in South America and made it's way into the Caribbean and Central America via Colombia. Use rubber gloves when handling the Habanero Pepper.

Suggested Use:
Habanero are very, very hot. Use them sparingly. Add a little to fresh salsa, sauces, chili and anything else you want to start a 4 alarm fire with. Great in Tortilla Soup and other Mexican recipes.
