Habanero
$19.95 – $475.75
Once known as the hottest chile in the world, the habanero chile ranks in at 120,000 to 180,000 Scoville Heat Units. While it may have lost the title, habanero chiles are still the hottest commercially available chile with the most distinctive flavor profile. At The Chile Guy, we have selected the type grown in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico because of its heat, flavor, and relative cost. This fiery hot chile powder, used in moderation, adds a particularly spicy kick and a lovely red-orange color to any salsa, sauce, or molé. Though very well known for its heat, the habanero chile is also an extremely flavorful chile. A floral-fruity beginning followed by the powerful heat that some find intimidating. The Chile Guy offers habanero chile powder with the heat, flavor, and color you can use for any application.

About Habanero Chile
The habanero chile is native to South America (Peru), but the Spanish brought it to other parts of the world. Today, Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is the primary source for habanero chiles.
The habanero was rated the world’s hottest chile in 1999, although it has since lost its title. It packs a lot of heat which may overpower its subtle undertones but not its floral aroma.
Habanero chiles range from 100,000 to 350,000 units on the Scoville Heat Scale.
