Pepper Chilies - Habanero - Ground

Various Habaneros have held the title of "hottest pepper in the world" for a long time, the latest being the Red Savina Habanero; however it was recently surpassed by the Naga Jolokia of India. It is by far the hottest commercially-available pepper in the Western world. The Habanero is a small chile that is two inches or less in length with a color that ranges from light green to bright orange, red, yellow, or brown. Native to Caribbean regions, the Yucatan area of Mexico, and northern coastal areas of South America, the Habanero Pepper has subtle fruit flavors that combines well with recipes containing fruit or tomato ingredients.
