Habanero Orange Pepper

Habanero Orange Pepper is a kind of chili pepper. Unripe habaneros are green but change color as they mature. Habanero chillies are very hot.

Typically, a ripe habanero chili is 2-6 cm (0.8-2.4 in) long. It is a perennial plant. It does well in good morning sun and in soil with pH around 5-6(acidic). It should not be watered unless its soil is dry. If the soil is too moist, it produces bitter habaneros.

Its flavor and aroma have become popular all over the world although it originally originated in Amazonas region. From there it was spread through Mexico. The habanero was carried north to the Caribbean via Colombia. Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is the largest producer of Habaneros today.
