DescriptionThe Orange Habanero is the classic habanero — the pepper that put "very hot" on the map for millions of people. Compact, lantern-shaped pods ripen to a bright, glossy orange with a fruity, citrusy, floral flavor that shines through the intense heat.

The standard for Caribbean-style hot sauces, jerk seasoning, mango-habanero salsas, and any dish that needs a bold, spicy kick. Pairs well with garlic, onions, tomatoes, citrus, tropical fruits, vinegar, chicken, pork, beef, and seafood.

Golden subbed for Orange

These golden habs were subbed for orange habs. No regrets. I can't figure out if these are a cross or a land race or what. The one in a pot looks like an orange version of a Caribean red or something in that it has a fuller look than an orange habanero. The one in the raised bed is growing more pointy and hasn't been as prolific. I got a good crop in before the heat of summer and now that it's cooling off, I'll have enough more from just this one plant to make me question my life choices planting 12 hots and super hots lol.
