Capsicum Frutescens - Non-GMO, Heirloom, Open Pollinated, and Untreated About the Habanero Pepper The habanero is a very hot pepper. Habanero means 'from Havana'. Habanero and its kin long ago migrated from the Caribbean Islands to Central America where they remain extremely popular today and is a close relative of the Jamaican Scotch Bonnet. To complement its searing heat, Habanero has a delicious, pungent, smoky quality unlike any other pepper; many people find its flavor and aroma irresistible in sauces and salsas. Ubiquitous in hot pepper sauces, the habanero is a very versatile pepper that is sure to add a kick to any recipe - the perfect addition to any summer garden!
