This is my first ever habanero and I’m excited to start harvesting and trying to make things with them. Reading guides I keep seeing harvest them when they change to their final color of orange or red…
Does that mean as soon as they’re red they’re ready to pluck or should I wait? Same for the orange ones, wait until they’re red too?
Thanks for any input!
It’s been chilly in central Florida so probably not the best year to start, but the plant seems to be doing ok with new blooms too, so hopefully will keep producing!

It depends on the flavor, level of heat, and risk of end of life rot you’re willing to take. Try yellow, orange, and red, and see what you like.
