Orange Habanero
Chilli
Chilli Heat Level 10
Our seeds tested by Gardeners World Trial at 487,672 Scoville Heat Units, Heat Level 10+++ This seed is Certified Organic. The Habanero is one of the world's hottest and most renowned chillies. For the uninitiated even a tiny piece of Habanero would cause intense and very prolonged oral suffering. Underneath the heat is a delicate plum-tomato apple-like flavour. Grown in Mexico and the Caribbean. It has an irregular spheroid shape, with a small point, and is around 1 inch to 1-1/2 inch long. It is available in orange, green, yellow, scarlet, brown and deep red. It has a number of close relatives such as Scotch Bonnet and Rocoto. It is used mainly raw because it loses subtlety, but not heat, when cooked. The Habanero when ripe or dried and powdered has a unique apricot scent. (Capsicum Chinense)
