What’s the difference between red and green? Isn’t it the same pepper?
The bottles say green habanero and red habanero. What’s the difference in taste or even spice? I wanted to get both but I wanna hear what yall have to say.

Green will be a bit more bitter and herbal while the red one will be a bit sweeter. Get both and try it out.

Idk but I prefer the green. I don’t think it has citrus but it tastes citrusy to me

They’re pretty similar, but I happen to like the green a little better.
IIRC the red one has tomato as an ingredient, but it must not be much since I don’t really taste it

Habaneros go from green to yellow to red as they ripen.
The heat level is about the same (I’ve tried them side by side), but the red is sweeter/more fruity and the green more bitter/earthy.
I prefer the red, but they’re both great.

Green is made with green habanero peppers, garlic and their spice blend, red is made with ripe habanero peppers, the spice blend and tomatoes.

Red would be tomato based

The recipes are different in addition to the pepper color. Red has tomato, and green has garlic. Not sure if the spice blends are different.

They both will not win any awards. Get either and submit to the popular vote and say how awesome it is, or keep trying others and realize how mad el yuck really is.

pretty much one is red and the other is green, honestly they both mostly just taste hot, you can tell better with the raw pepper, the red ones are sweet more red bell pepper like, and green is slightly more bitter grassy earthy like green bell pepper, without the spice it’s much easier to tell the difference.

Our verde sauce is jalapeños and Serrano peppers, our red/orange sauces are habaneros and red Fresno chilies. Some producers might use artificial coloring agents but most do not, so typically your colors will reflect the peppers used.

If you ever come across the XXX Hot one – it’s well worth it. It’s sort of grey-ish/brown in color.

Green peppers aren’t ripe yet and have a slightly bitter flavor. Red peppers are fully ripe and taste slightly sweeter.

The green tastes brighter and more zingy, it’s great
