Apart from its clean and intense heat, the Red Habanero also has an intense sweetish flavour, characteristic of the Habanero family.
The Red Habanero was the world's hottest chilli before super-hot varieties left the habanero in their dust!
The Habanero is most commonly used in sauces and ripens to a bright red. Its skin is thin and waxy with some wrinkling. Their pods have a distinctive lantern-like shape.
