Dried Habanero Caramel Pepper

Dried Habanero Caramel Pepper is a Capsicum chinense cultivar selected in a laboratory a few years ago, prized for its amber color reminiscent of caramel, ranging between red and light brown.

The Habanero Caramel Plant

The plant has an upright, bushy habit, with ovate leaves of bright green color; the fruits, medium-small in size and with the typical lantern shape, turn from green to red-caramel shades at maturity.

How to Sow Habanero Caramel

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 Caramel

Transplant from April to June, once temperatures start to rise steadily. It prefers full sun, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, with regular watering avoiding waterlogging.

Heat Level and Care Tips for Habanero Caramel

The heat level is high (about 250,000 SHU): gloves are essential when handling the fruits, carefully avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Diseases and Pests of Habanero Caramel

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 Caramel

The high capsaicin content gives strong thermogenic and metabolism-stimulating properties. Dried Habanero Caramel pepper, prized for the fruity flavor typical of the Habanero family, is used ground into powder or flakes for very spicy sauces.
