There are many options for doing this, and most of them are quick and easy, making your harvest last much longer. Here are a few easy methods to use your habaneros for the long term. The word “habanero” literally means “from Habana” or Havana, Cuba. In the modern-day, this region does grow the peppers, but it is unlikely that habaneros were first found on the island. The name is more likely a result of Habana being one of the first regions to cultivate habanero peppers. The Roatan part of the Roatan pumpkin habanero’s name comes from the fact that this pepper is native to Roatan Island, off Honduras’s coast.

A paper bag in the refrigerator is a good choice and the pepper will keep for about one week. It can be rehydrated somewhat by soaking it in water for an hour before use. Fresh https://easybranches.com/regions/thailand/13577036 can also be pickled, preserved in olive oil, or frozen.

If you can handle the heat, this is a fun culinary chili to play with in the kitchen. Before the arrival of the ghost pepper, the Red Savina habanero held the title of the world’s hottest pepper. With a max Scoville score of 577,000 SHU, the Red Savina is almost twice as hot as a standard orange habanero. It was created in California via selective breeding and is now grown on a commercial scale in California and Central America. That’s very spicy, but where does it truly fall on the pepper scale? It dwarfs mild chilies like the much less spicy poblano (1,000 to 1,500 SHU), but it still falls well short of the super-hot chili pepper range.

Primarily used in tequila cocktails, the whole pepper can also be used in a quick infusion to create spicy vodkas. Datil peppers are a habanero variety, but they are sweeter and fruitier than other habaneros. In the United States, they primarily hail from St. Augustine in North Florida, where an entire culture surrounds the datil.

The habanero pepper is a fiery chili pepper with a fruity, citrusy flavor. It is prized for it’s level of heat, making it popular for making hot sauces, spicy salsas, and infusing both heat and flavor into many dishes. They start off green on the habanero plants, but mature to a vibrant orange or red, depending on the variety. Red Savina habanero peppers are one of the hottest chili peppers in the world, with a Scoville heat rating ranging from 350,000 to 570,000 Scoville heat units. From 1994 to 2006, it officially held the title of the hottest pepper in the world through the Guinness Book of World Records, but much more extreme super-hot chilies have since overshadowed it. Red Savina habaneros are a bright, fire-engine red color and have a fruity, citrusy flavor.

If you want to reduce the spiciness, remove as much of the white part inside the pepper as you can. That will not make a pepper as hot as the habanero mild, but it will reduce the heat. Yucatan, Mexico, is the largest producer of habanero peppers in the world, exporting them all over the world. You can grow habaneros perfectly in the Yucatan climate, with its unique soil and blazing sun.
