Product Details

Once considered to be the hottest chili pepper, the habanero has been surpassed by other hot varieties, but it is nonetheless hotter than most commonly available cultivars. The habanero has a subtle, fruity flavor and a floral aroma. It is closely related to many other very hot peppers. Disseminated to China over 500 years ago by Spanish and Portuguese explorers, it became so much a part of Chinese cuisine, botanists who found it in China thought it was native to the area and thus named this species Capsicum chinense, based on the habaneros from China.

Peppers from Mexico and Central America are known for their bold flavors, intense heat, and versatility in cooking. The cuisine of countries like Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador is heavily influenced by indigenous, Spanish, and African cultures, leading to a unique fusion of flavors and spices. Mexican and Central American peppers, such as the chipotle, jalapeno, and habanero, are widely used to add depth and complexity to dishes.

Mexican cuisine is famous for its use of peppers in salsas, stews, and sauces, while Central American cuisine often features peppers in traditional dishes like tamales and pupusas. The long history and rich cultural heritage of Mexican and Central American peppers make them truly special and sought after by food lovers and culinary enthusiasts.
