Frequently Asked Questions About Habanero Peppers

How hot is a habanero pepper?

Habaneros range from 100,000 to 577,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). There are many varieties of habanero peppers, the most popular varieties are red and orange habaneros, those typically range between 300,000 to 350,000 SHU.

What does a habanero pepper look like?

Ripe habanero peppers are typically 1/5-2.5 inches in length. The skin is smooth but can be slightly waxy. The pepper's body often has a slight taper from the stem to the tip, which can be pointed or blunt. Inside, they are filled with seeds which are spread around a white, spongy placenta where capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, is most concentrated.

Where do habanero peppers come from?

At one point, it was thought that the pepper came from China, but now it’s more commonly thought to have first grown in the Amazon. Archaeologists discovered a habanero from 6,500 B.C. It is easily grown in other hot climates such as Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, and even warmer parts of the United States like Texas and California. Some habaneros also grow in the Caribbean.

Disclaimer:
Our flakes are sold by weight as they are a commodity. Since they are pure we do not add fillers so how it looks in the bottle may be different than what is shown in the pictures as the density changes with each crop. FDA-approved plastic bottles are only manufactured to specific sizes (i.e. 8 fl oz, 16 fl oz, 32 fl oz) so changing the bottle size for each crop is not possible to always make it look entirely full for every crop.

    Customer photo review of Habanero Pepper Flakes

    As Mythbusters says: Don't try this at home! --- I cold-extracted that entire 1kg bag of Habenero into alcohol, the same for the Reaper flakes in the front, which yielded 300mL of extract from the 4 ounces. Look at the deep mahogany color it produced! One kilo of dried habanero flake represents roughly 20 pounds of fresh peppers, and it yielded over 1,200mL of pure extract. Just 3 to 5ml is enough to make an entire jar of pickles so spicy that one pickle/chip is a full heat experience. That works out to about 12 whole habaneros per ounce (30mL), with zero plant matter cushioning the blow. Potent, small-sized flake without much powder in the way: 10/10 I look forward to my next 240 jars of pickles 🔥
