Habanero Pepper: Cuban Scotch Bonnet
(Capsicum chinense)
Capsicum chinense or bonnet peppers are typically very hot including the hottest peppers in the world according to the Scoville scale. These include the habanero, ghost peppers, and bonnet peppers. ECHO also has a unique “Sweet” Habanero that produces peppers that are not hot, although occasionally some fruits will revert to the typical hot pepper.
