Profile: The habanero pepper is a flaming cornerstone of Jerk Seasonings, fiery sauces, and tequila infusions. These little devils are loved for their zesty flavor and stone fruit scent.
Details:
Its origins are in the Amazon, but it has moved to the Americas and Caribbean. It has endeared itself to individuals who believe themselves Scoville students in every location. (The habanero has an astonishing 100,000 heat units.)
But the habanero isn't just a hot redhead adored for its heat. The habanero has a distinctive citrusy flavor. Dried, it smells like oranges and tangerines, and reconstituted in water, it smells like yellow nectarine. Dried habanero peppers have the subtlety of a freight train and are great in sauces and salsas.
