Giant Chocolate Habanero - (Capsicum Chinense)
The Giant Chocolate Habanero is a large and unique habanero variety in the Capsicum chinense family, renowned for its size and bold flavor. This habanero can grow to the size of a tennis ball or larger—often 2-3 times the size of a typical chocolate habanero. These peppers mature to a rich brown color and have a characteristic smoky, slightly sweet flavor paired with intense habanero-level heat. The plants reach over 4 feet in height and produce an abundant yield of these oversized pods, making them ideal for use in hot sauces, salsas, or as a seasoning.
