About Caribbean Red Habanero Pepper
The Caribbean Red Habanero Pepper is a fiery hot pepper that is a staple in many Caribbean dishes. It is a small, lantern-shaped pepper that grows to be about 1.5 to 2 inches long. The heat level of this pepper is similar to that of the regular Habanero pepper, but it has a slightly sweeter taste. The pepper starts off green and turns to a bright-red color when fully ripe.
The Caribbean Red Habanero Pepper is native to the Caribbean Islands, particularly Jamaica. It is a popular ingredient in many Caribbean dishes and is often used to make hot sauces, marinades, and salsas. Due to its high heat level, it is also used sparingly in many other cuisines around the world.
The Caribbean Red Habanero Pepper has a Scoville heat unit rating of 300,000 to 475,000. This makes it one of the hottest peppers in the world. It is not recommended for people who are sensitive to heat.
The pepper has a thin, waxy skin and a firm, crunchy texture. Inside, it is packed with tiny seeds that add to the pepper's heat. The flavor of the Caribbean Red Habanero Pepper is fruity and intense, with a hint of smokiness.
