Habanero Chile Pepper
Capsicum annuum
$14.50
One of the signature flavors of the Yucatan and the Mayan peninsula, Habanero brings an extreme, audacious heat, but an equally audacious signature flavor that cannot be compared to any other chile. Habaneros are Intensely herbal, slightly smoky, with brilliant bursts of intense chile flavors, and will overpower if not paired with other equally strong flavors. We stem and seed our habaneros before milling to accentuate the chile flavors.
Even if used in very small quantities, the bold flavor of Habanero creates a highlight to any dish.
