Experience rich, smoky heat with Habanero Chocolate chilies—wrinkled, chocolate-brown pods delivering 300,000–425,000 Scoville Heat Units and fruity, cocoa-like undertones.
Grow Gourmet Heat with a Twist!
Habanero Chocolate is a distinctive heirloom pepper variety prized for its deep-brown coloration and complex flavor profile. Plants produce 4–6 cm lantern-shaped pods that ripen from green to glossy chocolate brown. Perfect for artisanal hot sauces, exotic salsas, and culinary creations that demand flavor as much as fire.
Well suited to Pakistan’s warm growing season, Habanero Chocolate thrives in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil, maturing in 85–95 days from transplant for an adventurous harvest.
