Maybe unpopular opinion, but I can’t stand the flavor profile. I think the heat is nice but the flavor is absolutely horrendous. What are your thoughts on habaneros flavor?

    Love it. Goes really nicely with the heat level, especially when paired with just about anything sweet.

    I love them.

    Unpopular opinion on this subreddit, but Aji Lemons taste hot Pine Sol.

    Love it. Unpopular opinion but scotch bonnets are disappointing, even after you know they’re not supposed to taste like scotch.

    YES! I loveee Habaneros ❤️‍🔥 So much so I’m trying a new heatless variety called Habanadas. Can’t wait to try it!

    I like the flavor of orange habs to be honest. But for some reason their taste was more pepperish last year, and it’s way more aromatic now that I overwintered the plant.

    I really enjoy the flavor and heat profile of habaneros. To me there the happy place for, spicy enough to be enjoyable and they have a great flavor that pairs well with Mexican food. Sometimes I want spicier stuff but that more rare.

    Absolutely. I just tried eating a fresh habanero for the first time in my life, the flavor was outstanding I loved it.

    Heat was intense as hell for about 5 to 6 minutes. I’ve definitely done hotter chicken wings in the past. I’ve got 2 million scoville ghost pepper sauce in the fridge that I slather on all kinds of things, but it doesn’t have the heat that keeps on building and burning hotter consistently for several minutes in a row the way this did.

    It was certainly one of the hottest things I’ve ever eaten. But I was really surprised how much I liked the flavor underneath that heat, I’m not even sure how I would describe it, people describe habanero as floral but I’m not sure I got that. I think I might go eat another here shortly.

    When I first tried them. I didn’t like them but it’s grown on me. Now I love them.
