The
habanero is pronounced:
hah bahn air oh, or,
ah bahn air oh, without the leading '
h' sound. You'll hear it said both ways.

| The Habenero! Yeeeeeh ha HOT! |
The habanero is the hottest chile pepper you'll find in your local grocery stores, and they are, whoooooa-hooooo hot! The oil in the habanero, as well as many other hot chiles, can really give a good hot sting if we handle them too long. Unripe habaneros
are green, but the color at maturity varies. Common colors are orange and red, but white, brown, and pink are also seen.
Most habaneros rate 200,000 to 300,000 Scoville heat units. But we have found some even hotter!
This hot chili originated in the Caribbean and nearby South American Amazon Basin.
We love it because not only is it spicy but can have many unique flavors. It ranges from fruity, floral and nice and smokey.
This is how
Captain Shon's Habanero Sauce get's that crazy authentic island flavor!
