I have always hated picking through half dead or turning Habs at the market. They charge a fortune and the quality is terrible. Now I have my first ever homegrown Habanero! What a stunner! 😍
I mentioned in another post that I've been building up my tolerance with Thai Dragons, but this should range 2 to 5 times hotter. I am not sure I am ready but I am tempted to eat it whole and cry myself to sleep tonight… 🫑🔥😭😴
Maybe I'll cook with it instead though. What should I do with this beauty?

Enjoy the home grown flavor and aroma that store bought habaneros don’t have.
Beautiful little bugger, eh?
Nicee !! 😋 as someone else said, you can’t beat the homegrown flavor. It does hit diff
Try 100x hotter lol
Grill or put it on fire
Blister it
Remove skin. Then mash it
Then nix it to your bottle of ketchup 🤣
Cook a meal. Cut it up fine and mix in uncooked is what I’d do with it. Fresh, crunchy and flavorful!
Habaneros are awesome. If you want to dry it, you have to really cut it up. It’s too fleshy, it will stay moist long enough to grow blue fungus, and anything that can live on a habanero is to be avoided.
They’re hot, but doable. I ate 27 the very first time I tried them as part of a hot pepper eating contest back when habaneros were the kings of heat. I won’t lie, I played it like it was nothing, then spent a couple days at home within range of the porcelain throne. Good thing this was way before Covid because there wouldn’t have been any toilet paper. But I won! A single habanero is going to sting, but you should come out of it no worse for the wear and you might even enjoy the experience if you stick with the one and don’t push it. Cap cramps are no fun at all, but you might get the cap buzz, and that comes without a huge hangover.
Stir fry
No joke after I started mine I got so judgemental of those sad, partially transparent supermarket habs
