Description

The Fresh Orange Habanero (1lb Bag) is the perfect choice for the home cook who wants to add a serious, yet flavorful, kick to their weekly meals. This one-pound bag offers enough peppers for several batches of salsa, chili, or a small run of homemade hot sauce.

These striking orange peppers are famous for delivering a powerful, immediate heat, with a rating between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville Heat Units. Crucially, the Orange Habanero stands out because its heat is beautifully balanced by a complex, tropical fruitiness that tastes like hints of apricot and citrus.

Key Uses

• Small Batch Hot Sauce: The essential base for classic Caribbean and Yucatecan pepper sauces.
• Savory Meals: Use sparingly to infuse chili, curries, and stews with heat and a smoky flavor depth.
• Sweet-Heat Recipes: Pairs perfectly with mango, pineapple, or peaches for unforgettable spicy jams, jellies, and glazes.

⚠️ Handling Safety: Habanero peppers are extremely hot. We recommend wearing gloves when handling, cutting, and seeding these peppers to prevent severe skin and eye irritation.

Storage Tip

Store fresh habanero peppers in a paper bag inside the refrigerator’s crisper drawer. For longer use, they can be frozen whole or dehydrated and ground into chili powder.
