The listing, HABANERO PEPPER SEEDS (20) has ended.
Definition: Habaneros are small, hot, chili peppers that are grown in Mexico and other parts of Latin America as well as in the U.S. Habanero peppers are short and squat with thin skin and are usually an orange or red color.
Because they are extremely hot, Habanero peppers are usually not eaten whole but are widely used in making salsas, sauces, salad dressings and as an ingredient in bottled hot sauce. Habaneros are sometimes mistaken for Scotch bonnet peppers, which they resemble and which are equally hot.
Habaneros have a slightly fruity flavor which can be enhanced by roasting the peppers. Roasting habaneros also mellows their heat somewhat.
