Habanero red | Powder

Habanero chillies are one of the hottest chillies in the world and originally come from Mexico. The red variety was first grown in the Caribbean and the southern United States. This variety prefers a dry, very warm climate, which is why it also thrives on Mallorca.

The shape of the habanero resembles small peppers.

The severity level on the 10-point scale is 10. The red Habanero has between 150,000 and 350,000 Scoville, depending on the degree of ripeness and irrigation.

The aroma of the red habanero is intense, fruity and fiery. In the Caribbean it is often used in combination with tropical fruits.

We recommend using them fresh and cut into small pieces in warm dishes or as powder. When it comes to dosing, it is important to start with small amounts, you can always add seasoning. When cutting the fresh chillies, it is essential to wear gloves and never touch your face with your hands!

The red habanero is traditionally used to make "hot sauces". Salsas (typical Spanish or South American sauces) can also be “spiced up” with it. A classic is “chili con carne”, but a “currywurst” sauce with red habanero is also delicious!

Since the habanero is very spicy, we recommend using it if you already have experience with chillies.
