Red Habanero Peppers

If you’re a hot pepper enthusiast, you’re probably familiar with the habanero. As one of the oldest and most popular varieties of chilies, it’s a favorite among heat lovers. Habanero peppers come in a variety of colors, red, orange, white, pink, purple, and brown. Of all the colors, red and orange habanero peppers are the hottest.  With a pleasant, crisp texture, they are also overflowing with flavor. Despite the extreme heat, you’ll also taste some sweetness with hints of floral and fruity notes when eating a habanero. They pair well with sweet fruits like mangos that help counter the habanero’s spice level. You can find habaneros in hot sauces, marinades, salsas, jerk seasonings, and more. In Mexico, it’s common to find peppers in bottles of tequila or mescal to add an extra kick to drinks. Always be cautious when handling and cooking with them as the capsaicin, which makes pepper hot, in the peppers is an oil and can cause blistering to the skin. We highly suggest you use gloves. Ou
