Uses:

Melissa’s turns up the heat with fresh Habanero Chiles. The lantern shaped Habanero (which means "from Havana") is the hottest chile grown in the world! It has been estimated that the Habanero is 30 to 50 times hotter than the jalapeno. Caution must be used when handling this chile. When fully ripe, these chiles range in color from dark green to orange, orange-red to red and measure about 2 inches long to 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Melissa’s Habanero Chiles have a fierce, intense heat and a wonderfully distinctive flavor that mixes well with tomatoes and many fruits. Popular pickled, use sparingly in salsas, stews and chutneys, Habanero Chiles are often the main ingredients in bottled hot sauces. The average habanero Scoville heat level is 200,000 units. By comparison, the jalapeno's average Scoville level is 4000 units.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

When selecting fresh Habanero Chiles, look for those that are mature, firm, dry and heavy for their size. Skins should be shiny, smooth and unblemished. Chiles should have a fresh scent. Use rubber gloves when handling Habaneros and avoid touching skin, face or eyes. Wash chiles thoroughly, dry, wrap in paper towels and store refrigerated for up to two weeks.
