The Yellow Habanero (Capsicum chinense) is one of the most recognized chili varieties, serving as an icon of Caribbean and Mexican spice. Its fascination lies in the combination of intense heat with a complex and appetizing aroma.
Classified as Very Hot, its Scoville scale (SHU) ranges from 100,000 to 350,000 SHU. The heat is immediate and potent, but balanced by its flavor. Its profile is extremely fruity, sweet, and floral, with a distinct citrus aftertaste that evokes notes of mango and pineapple.
In the kitchen, it is irreplaceable for dishes requiring a tropical and spicy touch. It is the perfect base for Fruit-based Hot Sauces (mango, passion fruit) and is an essential ingredient in Fish and Seafood Marinades (Ceviches). It adds a vibrant kick to Tacos and Quesadillas.
Yellow Habanero - SHU: 350,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
