The Red Habanero is the hotter, deeper-flavored cousin of the classic orange. These small, wrinkled, lantern-shaped pods ripen to a glossy vibrant red and pack more punch than the standard habanero. The heat builds slowly and lasts longer, with fruity, sweet, and slightly smoky undertones.
A kitchen workhorse for hot sauce makers. The red color makes beautiful sauces and the flavor holds up to cooking, fermenting, and drying. The longer they stay on the vine, the sweeter they get.
