Habanero Red Savina | crushed | 2-5 mm | red | Scoville Units: 200.000-250.000

Habanero stands for the sharpest and extremely sharpest chilli varieties in the world. A distinction is made between different subspecies, which represent an enormous variety of species with typical tropical-fruity flavours and very different pungencies. The ¨Red Savina¨ variety is a Southern California variety that held the record as the sharpest chili variety in the world until 2006 and made it to Guinness Book of Records with 577,000 Scoville units measured. ¨Habanero¨ can be translated as ¨originating from Havana¨, so it is sometimes mistakenly assumed that Habaneros come from Cuba. In the meantime one can assume that the Mexican peninsula Yukatan is the real home of this Chili species. The Habanero Red Savina is used wherever you like it really hot. In the USA and Mexico the Red Savina is mainly used for fiery-piquant sauces and salsas.
