Considered by many to be the "true habanero” as it is the one commonly found in grocery stores and markets. Originating in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, they are now grown in pots and gardens all over the world.
 
The fruits mature to bright orange and grow to 1 ½“ in length. They are used in many dishes and restaurants across the country, especially for hot sauces and salsas, and on everything from buffalo wings to pizza to spicy cheese and even chocolate. Habaneros are easily preserved, either by drying, freezing, jarring, or by many other methods, for that delicious heat year round.
