Tropical Peppers
Tropical peppers, also known as habanero peppers, are a hot variety of chili pepper. While eating habanero peppers might make you break out a sweat, they may also support healthy blood pressure levels. Legend has it, they’re 76x hotter than an average jalapeño. Despite this, tropical peppers retain a sweet, yet savory flavor that complement a variety of dishes. The fully mature red habanero will be sweeter and offers a fruitier flavor than the green variety.
J&C Tropicals carries green and red habanero pepper varieties.
