About This Pepper
Chocolate Habanero (also called Congo Black) is striking variety with dark brown color and unique flavor. Rating 100,000-350,000 SHU like other habaneros, it offers extreme heat with distinctive smoky, earthy undertones not found in orange varieties. The flavor is more complex with hints of chocolate and smoke alongside typical habanero fruitiness. Excellent for mole sauces and barbecue applications where smoky notes complement other flavors. The unusual color makes them popular for specialty hot sauces. Beautiful ornamental value.
