Seeds - Habanero Red

The Red Habanero is a fiery Capsicum chinense variety celebrated for combining intense heat with a rich fruity flavour profile. Pods ripen from green to brilliant scarlet red and develop the classic lantern-shaped appearance with lightly wrinkled waxy skin typical of Habanero peppers.

Heat levels commonly range between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville Heat Units, making the Red Habanero significantly hotter than a standard jalapeño. The flavour profile is sweet, fruity, floral, and citrus-forward with subtle smoky undertones that become more pronounced in cooked sauces and marinades.

Due to its balance of flavour and heat, the Red Habanero is widely used in hot sauces, Caribbean cuisine, jerk marinades, salsas, powders, and spicy cooking applications where strong tropical flavour is desired.
