Where habanero really reigns supreme, though, is in Belize, where potent, vibrant blends of habanero and vegetables like carrots are the base of local icon Marie Sharp's many hot sauces.
If you need an escape, might we humbly suggest Belize? Located on the east coast of Central America, nestled against the Caribbean Sea, you’ll find the sparsely populated country—the only one without a coastline on the Pacific Ocean.

She is now pursuing buyers in France and Italy.
