Habanero Pepper: Ensalada
(Capsicum chinense)
Capsicum chinense or bonnet peppers are typically very hot including the hottest peppers in the world according to the Scoville scale. These include the habanero, ghost peppers, and bonnet peppers. ECHO also has a unique “Sweet” Habanero that produces peppers that are not hot, although occasionally some fruits will revert to the typical hot pepper.
A sweet dooryard variety of habanero from Jamaica selected for the size of its edible leaves which are eaten cooked. More drought resistant that other hot peppers.
