Description

Orange Habanero Pepper (Capsicum chinense) is a famous heirloom chili prized for its extreme heat, distinctive lantern shape, and rich fruity-citrus aroma. Producing abundant yields of 1–2 inch wrinkled peppers that ripen from pale green to vibrant brilliant orange, it packs an intense punch rating 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units. Essential for authentic hot sauces, spicy salsas, marinades, and Caribbean jerk dishes, it brings both scorching heat and complex flavor to the summer garden.
