Heirloom Hot Pepper «Habanero Orange»
The habanero species is thought to originate in the Yucatan region in Mexico. Although the name “habanero” can be translated to mean “someone or something from Havana”, the plant is only found growing in isolation on the island of Cuba.
Even today, it is primarily grown on the Yucatan peninsula, however it is predominantly orange and yellow habanero varieties grown here. The red variant usually comes from the Caribbean or the southern states of the USA.
The Habanero Mexican Orange Chili is a traditional, very hot chili variety from Mexico; it is around 50 times hotter than a jalapeño chili. The thin-walled fruits are round, wrinkled and grow to be approximately 5cm long and 3cm wide. Their shape is similar to that of a mini pepper.
They have such an intensely fruity flavour, that many other types of chili find it very difficult to compete with the habanero pepper. Their tropical, fruity flavour makes them an essential ingredient in every salsa and means they can be paired particularly well with tropical fruits. The colour changes from pale green to orange. The plants produce a large number of medium-sized orange fruits.
Taste: 350,000 to 450,000 on the Scoville scale.
