Chocolate Habanero Hot Pepper

Container friendly, but HOT HOT HOT!

Chocolate habanero peppers are a cultivar of the habanero chili, celebrated for their intense heat and unique flavor profile. Originating from the Caribbean, these peppers have been cultivated for over 5,000 years, with seeds discovered that hint at their ancient lineage. Bred for spicier, larger fruit, chocolate habaneros offer a heat level significantly higher than the standard habanero, ranging from 425,000 to 577,000 Scoville Heat Units. Their name reflects their rich, dark brown color when ripe, which sets them apart visually from other habanero varieties. These peppers are not only prized for their heat but also for a flavor that's often described as having a smoky, earthy undertone, making them a favored ingredient in gourmet dishes and hot sauces.
