Seeds - Habanero Orange

The Orange Habanero is a legendary Capsicum chinense variety famous for its intense heat and distinctive sweet tropical flavour. Originating from the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, it produces lantern-shaped pods that ripen from green to a brilliant glossy orange colour.

Heat levels typically range between 150,000 and 350,000 Scoville Heat Units, making it around 40–50 times hotter than a standard jalapeño. Despite the intense burn, the flavour profile is notably sweet, fruity, floral, and citrus-forward with tropical notes often compared to apricot and citrus fruits.

Due to its balance of strong heat and rich flavour, the Orange Habanero is widely used in premium hot sauces, fresh salsas, Caribbean jerk marinades, BBQ sauces, powders, and tropical fruit-based chilli products where its natural fruitiness pairs exceptionally well with mango, peach, and pineapple.
