Habanero Red belongs to the group of the hottest chili varieties and reaches up to 350,000 points on the Scoville scale. The variety is easy to grow and produces green, slightly round fruits that change color to an intense red when they are ready to be harvested. The plant has a bushy growth habit and has beautiful, decorative, dark green leaves. The variety is excellent for drying and grinding as a spice for an incredibly hot chili flavor.

The strong flavor of the variety makes it perfect for chili stews of all kinds but is also well-known and popular to use in homemade salsa, chili sauce, and ketchup. A really hot tip from us at Florea is to use this strong chili variety for marinades, and it goes particularly well with meat and chicken. This variety can also be grown indoors all year round on a sunny windowsill. Use plant lighting during the darker months of the year to help it thrive and continue to produce lots of red chili fruits that you can pick at any time to use in cooking.

So if you’re looking for an easy-to-grow chili variety with lots of heat, we HIGHLY recommend Habanero Red!
