Our Habanero Chile Powder delivers intense heat along with distinctive fruity, tropical flavor notes of guava, papaya, and apricot. Habaneros rank among the hottest commonly available chiles, at 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units. This powder is essential for Caribbean cooking, hot sauces, and dishes where you want both serious heat and fruity character. In most dishes, start with a 1/18 teaspoon or less and only increase the amount once the heat level is clear.
