The Capsicum chinense (Chili) Habanero Red is one of the most well-known habanero varieties and a favorite among hot pepper enthusiasts. This variety is known for its bright red fruits, powerful heat, and intense fruity aroma. Habanero Red combines spectacular color in the garden with a distinctly spicy flavor, making it a real eye-catcher both visually and in the kitchen. This variety is ideal for experienced gardeners and chefs who enjoy a fiery, aromatic chili.
The Habanero Red belongs to the Capsicum chinense species, native to the Caribbean and Mexico. The fruits are small to medium, bell-shaped, and slightly curved, with a length of 3–5 cm. They ripen from green to an intense red, which provides a beautiful contrast in the garden.
This chili is known for its high heat (approximately 250,000–350,000 Scoville units) combined with a fruity aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit, citrus, and flowers. Its unique flavor profile makes Habanero Red popular for hot sauces, marinades, and culinary applications where both heat and flavor are important.
The Capsicum chinense Habanero Red grows into a strong, medium-to-large plant, 70–120 cm tall. The plants are vigorously branched and produce an abundance of flowers that develop into the characteristic red fruits.
