Dried Habanero Chocolate Pepper
Dried Habanero Chocolate Pepper, also known as Black Congo, is a Capsicum chinense cultivar originally from Jamaica, prized for the characteristic dark brown color of the fruits at maturity.
The Habanero Chocolate Plant
The plant is medium-sized, reaching a height of 60 to 90 cm, with a stem that branches out at the top forming a dense, deep green bush; the fruits, with the typical lantern shape, turn from green to brownish-black shades at maturity.
How to Sow Habanero Chocolate
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, keeping temperatures constant at 25-28°C until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks.
How to Grow Habanero Chocolate
Transplant from April to June, once temperatures start to rise steadily. It prefers full sun and constant light exposure, permeable fertile soil kept consistently moist, and a small stake to support the stem.
Heat Level and Care Tips for Habanero Chocolate
The heat level is medium-high (about 200,000-425,000 SHU): gloves are essential when handling the fruits, carefully avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Diseases and Pests of Habanero Chocolate
It can be affected by aphids, spider mites and whitefly; avoiding wetting the foliage during watering reduces the risk of fungal disease.
Properties and Uses of Habanero Chocolate
The high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Habanero Chocolate pepper, prized for its faint tropical fruit and dark chocolate aromatic note, is used ground into powder or flakes for very spicy sauces.
