Habanero Chiles are the hot of the hot. Behind the heat is a fruity flavor that makes these chiles a wonderful way to spark up a dish - but use these chiles sparingly! The name of this chile comes from the phrase "la Habana" that means "from Havana." It is a round, oblong chile about 2 inches long and 1 inch across. On the heat scale the Habanero is a 10. The Habanero powder is made out of ground whole Habanero including the seeds. The powder is 100% pure. Use rubber gloves when handling the Habanero Pepper.
