Fresh Habanero Chillies (1kg) - One of the world's most fiery chillies, delivered fresh to your door.
Habanero chillies are an essential ingredient in hot sauces, Caribbean and African cooking, and for anyone who loves serious heat in their food. With a distinctive fruity flavour behind the intense burn, habaneros are prized by chilli lovers around the world.
Heat Level
Habanero chillies rate between 100,000 - 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) - significantly hotter than jalapenos (2,500-8,000 SHU). Handle with care and avoid touching your eyes after handling.
Culinary Uses
- Hot sauce: The classic use - blend with vinegar, garlic and salt for an intense hot sauce
- Caribbean cooking: Essential in jerk seasoning and Caribbean pepper sauce
- African cooking: Used fresh or dried in West and East African stews and sauces
- Fermented hot sauce: Ferment with salt for a complex, aged hot sauce
- Chilli oil: Infuse in oil for a fiery condiment
- Salsas and marinades: Add intense heat and fruity notes to salsas
Storage Tips
- Refrigerate in a paper bag or ventilated container for up to 2 weeks
- Freeze whole for up to 3 months - no need to blanch
- Dry them to make chilli powder or dried chillies
Safety Tips
Always wear gloves when handling habaneros. The capsaicin in the skin and seeds can cause significant skin irritation. Keep away from children and eyes.
