The Habanero pepper has a slightly fruity flavor. It registers between 100,000 and 350,000 Scoville heat units on the Scoville Scale. That's milder than a ghost pepper but hotter than cayenne, serrano, and jalapeño peppers, making it one of the hottest chiles you'll find. There's more to a habanero than just the magnitude of the heat.
If you find yourself dousing your dishes in spices, consider adding this homemade habanero chili paste to your fridge condiment drawer. It’s a flavorful alternative to incorporating dried herbs and spices into your dish. It tastes fresher and, in my opinion, is more potent than dried spices.
