The Habanero Pepper is a small, fiery chili pepper known for its intense heat and fruity flavor. Typically orange or red when ripe, it measures between 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units, making it one of the hottest peppers in the world. Habaneros are commonly used in sauces, salsas, and marinades to add a spicy kick.
Originating from the Amazon Basin, the Habanero is now widely cultivated in regions like Mexico and the Caribbean. It thrives in warm climates and is often grown in home gardens. Besides its culinary uses, the pepper is also rich in vitamins A and C, contributing to its nutritional value.
