Habaneros are green in color and ripen one of numerous colors including red, orange, salmon, white, chocolate... depending on the variety. Their average size is 1 to 2 1/2 inches long, 1 to 2 inches in diameter and they are lantern-shaped, round or oblong. Technically, their species name is Capsicum Chinese Jacquin. Habaneros are the hottest chile peppers and rate around 200,000 - 300,000 Scoville Units.
Habanero means from Havana and is an extremely hot pepper believed to originally have been taken to the Yucatan Peninsula from Cuba. About 1,500 tons of habaneros are harvested each year in the Yucatan. They are also grown to a lesser extent in Belize, Costa Rica, Texas and California.
GNS Spices of Southern California has developed the Red Savina habanero which has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's hottest spice up to 580,000 scoville units! Red Savina Habaneros are the hottest peppers there are!

One of the hottest peppers in the world, these one to two-inch spicy numbers range in colour from green to orange to yellow to white. They are usually reserved to make hot sauces and very spicy salsas = Habanero

The hottest pepper is the Piquin and they are rated at 140,000 heat units compared to cayenne which is 40,000 heat units. Chinese hot peppers (called Tien Tsin La Jiao) are about 60,000 heat units. If using fresh...wear gloves, and be careful about face and eyes...
