The Habanero is a small, orange or green chili pepper known for its intense heat. It typically measures between 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it one of the hottest peppers in the world. Habaneros are often used in sauces, salsas, and marinades, adding a fiery kick to various dishes. In addition to their spiciness, Habaneros have a fruity flavor that can enhance the taste of foods. They are rich in vitamins A and C, providing health benefits alongside their heat. Cooks should handle them with care, as their oils can irritate the skin and eyes.
