The Habanero Chocolate is a Capsicum chinense variety known for its deep brown colour and strong habanero heat. I have been impressed with the size of the pods on this plant, they can get impressively large! They ripen from green to a rich chocolate brown and deliver an good burn of about 250,000 to 350,000 SHU. The flavour is smoky and slightly sweet, making this chilli excellent for sauces, salsas and drying for powder. Plants can reach over 1.2 m tall and produce heavy crops throughout a long season. Start seeds early in warm conditions for best results.
