Overview

Our natural Smoked Red Habanero packs a significant punch, averaging between 200,000 and 350,000 (SHUs). Unlike "creeper" peppers, the Habanero provides an immediate, sharp heat that is respected by chefs worldwide. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex fruity and floral flavor enriched by a professional smoking process! Our Smoked Red Habanero ground pepper, crushed flakes, and dry whole pods are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is felt immediately, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Red Habanero is a staple of Caribbean and Latin American cuisine, and our smoked version adds a layer of rustic depth to its popular heat level. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Red Habanero peppers have a distinctive appearance with a smooth, waxy texture and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their lantern-like shape, and the smoking process infuses them with a dark, aromatic quality prized in the chili community.

The Experience

Smoked Red Habaneros are known to be a favorite among gourmet cooks and BBQ enthusiasts! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex smoky flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' habaneros. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our Smoked Red Habanero flakes with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the smoky fruity flavor of the Red Habanero without the overwhelming heat.
