Frequently Asked Questions About Habanero Peppers
How hot is a habanero pepper?
Habaneros range from 100,000 to 577,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). There are many varieties of habanero peppers, the most popular varieties are red and orange habaneros, those typically range between 300,000 to 350,000 SHU.
What does a habanero pepper look like?
Ripe habanero peppers are typically 1/5-2.5 inches in length. The skin is smooth but can be slightly waxy. The pepper's body often has a slight taper from the stem to the tip, which can be pointed or blunt. Inside, they are filled with seeds which are spread around a white, spongy placenta where capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat, is most concentrated.
Where do habanero peppers come from?
At one point, it was thought that the pepper came from China, but now it’s more commonly thought to have first grown in the Amazon. Archaeologists discovered a habanero from 6,500 B.C. It is easily grown in other hot climates such as Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, and even warmer parts of the United States like Texas and California. Some habaneros also grow in the Caribbean.

Very good flavor and taste!
Rajesh B. 5/5 Verified
I need real spice and heat in almost everything and awhile back I tried the habanero flakes and powder from Sonoran spice company, never looked back! They are so fresh, delicious and make any food the best it can be! As you see from the photos I got the BIG bottle and I actually put it into a competitors container because it’s easier to use and I can refill as needed. These are so good that sometimes I just open them to get the aroma and it instantly makes me want to put it on something and eat it! This is my forever ♾️ brand and I have no reason to try another companies hot pepper products! These are hot depending on the amount you use, not hot enough add more and you’ll get where you want to be! Always liked the habanero pepper because you have some wiggle room unlike some of the much hotter peppers like 👻 🦂 ☠️ they all have a place and a use but these are the most versatile for hot pepper lovers in my opinion 😌 great brand, great products, and an all around joyous experience 💯

The product came in very fresh condition and adds a lot of flavor to my recipes.

Real tasty, no peppers really beat habanero for flavor with a kick in your food. Hotter peppers are just hot and ruin the taste of the food you're eating. I've tried them all except pepper X, but honestly, there's no reason to. I always default back to habanero for the flavor.

I eat pizza once a week and use this every time. Much better heat than cayenne flakes, but not unbearable. I also bought Carolina Reaper flakes for when friends are over.

I eat this everyday on my salads! I love the burn! I only use this company for my pepper flakes!

The Bird's Eye Peppers says up to 100,000 SHU on the website, but when you actually get the product, it says 200,000+ SHU. This is a substantial difference. Not sure how it will effect my tincture. I may not have needed the Red Habanero Pepper Flakes.

It is hot
Bryan M. 5/5 Verified
I love this on just about everything but in this photo it's on my Ogbono soup. It has flavor and heat and instantly kicks up the enjoyability of every food I put it on lol. I love it in stews, soups, curries, you name it. It lasts a long time as well, since it's potent and you don't need to put a lot in order to feel/taste it. The only thing I don't like is the cost of shipping, but this lasts me such a long time that by the time it's time to re-order, I don't even mind the $10. Thank you for existing Sonoran Spice!! I was so pleased when I found yall.

The flakes are delicious and adds the heat I need to every dish. I will be ordering again. Only one complaint, the bottle of flakes wasn't completely full as received. It was a good inch at least from the top if not even a little more.
