The Chocolate Habanero is one of the hottest habanero varieties you'll find. Dark brown, wrinkled pods from the Caribbean with a unique earthy, smoky flavor you won't get from the orange or red versions. The heat is intense and stinging, a step above the standard habanero.
The smoky depth makes this an incredible choice for rubs, marinades, and hot sauces where you want a rich, complex heat. If you love habaneros but want more intensity and a darker flavor profile, the Chocolate version is the move.
- Heat Level: 300,000 - 575,000 SHU / Very Hot
- Flavor Profile: Earthy, smoky, rich with citrusy undertones
- Days to Maturity: 90-120 days from transplant
- Difficulty: Moderate
- Seeds per Pack: 10+
Every seed is grown in isolation tents at our Nebraska farm, keeping the chance of cross-pollination to around 4%.
Growing tip: The chocolate color develops as pods mature. Don't harvest early. Let them go fully dark brown for the best smoky flavor.
