Habanero Chocolate Powder (Brown Habanero): Flavor and Character

The Habanero Chocolate pepper (or Brown Habanero) distinguishes itself radically from its orange or red cousins. It offers a delicious and nuanced flavor, often described as smoky, earthy, and rich, with a fruity note that sometimes recalls a dried prune or cocoa. It is the ideal pepper for infusing flavor into a dish, rather than just providing heat. You first clearly taste its sweet and fruity flavor before you feel the heat.

Scoville Heat Units (SHU): This pepper generally ranks between 300,000 and 450,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).

Comparison: It is noticeably stronger than the standard orange Habanero (often around 100,000 – 350,000 SHU), but its heat is more tolerable and gourmet than that of the Scorpions or Ghosts. It is a heat that warms without paralyzing the taste buds.

Our vials contain approximately 10 grams of powder. All our hot and extra-hot peppers are developed and cultivated by us.
