There isn’t just one single type of Habanero – rather, it’s a whole group of closely related chilli varieties grouped under the name “Habanero”. This diversity is reflected in their range of colours, shapes, flavours and heat levels.
The origins of Habanero chillies are believed to lie on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The Caribbean islands are also home to many Habanero types, and their fruity, often tropical flavour profiles reflect this heritage.
Although Habaneros are no longer among the world’s hottest chillies, they still offer a distinct and long-lasting heat. Combined with their intense aroma, Habaneros are considered by many chilli enthusiasts to be the epitome of hot yet flavourful chilli varieties.
Habanero seeds typically belong to the species Capsicum chinense and require a bit more warmth and patience than milder chillies. With sufficient light and a sheltered location, they can also be grown successfully in temperate climates like Central Europe.
