Habanero Pepper Powder

Habanero chillies ground are VOLCANIC, ACIDIC and INTENSE! They have a tropical fruit flavour with coconut, papaya and berry notes. The small chilli pepper is 1½ inches long and 1 inch wide before ground. Closely related to the Scotch Bonnet, this is to be used cautiously (but do not let this put you off!).

While widely cultivated around the world today, Habanero chilies are native to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, typically used to make spicy dishes, hot sauces, salsas and marinades. They come in various colours, including orange, red, yellow, brown and even chocolate, giving our ground powder a lovely look.

Mexican and African cuisine use Habanero chillies to make cowboy beans and enchiladas. Try our recipes for Tanzanian banana and Yam Stew or Nigerian Chilli and Peanut Chicken.

Do you enjoy a cheeky tipple? This chilli powder would be a great addition to cocktails that contain tequila, or else add a pinch to your bloody Mary!

Typically ranging between 100,000 to 350,000 SHU on the Scoville scale, you have been warned! Remember to handle these ground Habanero Chillies with care — it’s always a good idea to wear gloves when cooking with them, and definitely avoid touching your face or eyes afterwards.
