Description

Renowned as one of the hottest chilies in the world, the yellow habañero chile pepper is characteristically lantern-shaped. Varying from green and yellow to red and reddish-purple, this hot little pepper is about one to two-and-one-half inches long and one to two inches in diameter. Possessing an intensity that is sometimes soars beyond the heat-measuring chart, the habañero, pronounced hah-bah-NYAIR-oh, is at least 50 times hotter than the jalapeño.
