Scoville Units Shape Round to oblong, undulating, pointed apex, 1 inch to 1-1/2 inch long, habanero type Color Green to yellow-orange, or orange, or orange-red Fresh In markets on the east coast especially those areas that have a large Caribbean population Dried When dries it looses the flavor but not the heat. Processed Bottled sauces, canned A blistering hot pepper 40 times
hotter than Jalapeno! Some people think the habanero and the West
Indian Scotch bonnet, but they are not the same cultivars, though they are
the same species. The habanero is lantern shaped and the Scotch bonnet has
no neck and is regularly inverted at the apex when mature, giving it the
form of a Scotsman's headpiece. Handle with care!
