This small, very tough-skinned Thai hot pepper is no more than 4 cm long, but its fire is powerful! More pungent than cayenne, its value on the Scoville scale can reach 100,000 units. It is highly prized in Thai and all South Asian cuisine in curries, salads, soups and more. Don't be fooled by its initially sweet taste that turns lemony before developing an intense, yet pleasant heat.
The productivity of the compact plants of 20-30 cm high impresses. The green peppers first turn to a blazing red and persist very long on the plant. Like all the peppers, it likes the intense and wet heat as well as the full sun. In pot or in the ground, it should not be cultivated outside before the nights have warmed up well around mid-June.

This small Chinese lantern-shaped chili pepper turns from green to a bright orange hue with a beautiful glossy finish. Like most hot peppers, the flesh underneath this bright color is thin and crisp with a flavor that is fruity, sweet and pungent all at once. It is dangerously strong, although
not THE strongest of the habaneros (150,000 to 350,000 SHU). Its unique fruity taste makes it cultivated all over the world.
Habaneros are an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of calcium, potassium, folic acid, and vitamins A and E. They are eaten raw or cooked, for example grilled or sautéed. It is also a first choice chili to be transformed into sauces and salsas, to prepare marinades and jellies, as well as to spice up soups, stews, fish and grilled meats.
