The plants are famously productive, becoming loaded with beautiful, lantern-shaped pods that ripen to a stunning, fiery crimson. This isn’t just a color change; the Red Habanero often brings a more intense and searing heat than its orange counterpart. The flavor is a pure, unapologetic combination of intense fruitiness with smoky undertones, making it the gold standard for a classic, high-heat pepper. If you’re looking for that picture-perfect, vibrant red hot sauce pepper, look no further.
