What Are Habanada Peppers?
Habanada is a heatless habanero variety developed by plant breeder Michael Mazourek in collaboration with chef Dan Barber, and released through Row 7 Seed Company. The goal was simple but ambitious: preserve the full aromatic complexity of a habanero while eliminating heat.
The result is a pepper that looks and smells like a classic habanero but registers 0 Scoville heat units—allowing its true flavor to shine.
- All aroma, no burn
- Bright orange, thin-walled fruit
- Developed specifically for flavor
What Do Habanadas Taste Like?
Habanadas are intensely aromatic with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and floral spice. The flavor is bold yet clean, finishing sweet rather than hot. Without heat to dominate the palate, their complexity comes through clearly—especially when used fresh.
How to Use Fresh Habanada Peppers
Habanadas are versatile across both professional and home kitchens:
- Minced raw into salsas, relishes, and vinaigrettes
- Blended into fresh sauces, purées, and marinades
- Roasted whole to deepen sweetness
- Infused into oils, syrups, or vinegars
- Used anywhere habanero flavor is desired without spice
They are particularly useful in dishes where traditional hot chiles would overwhelm other ingredients.
Seasonal Availability
Fresh Habanada peppers are available only during the summer growing season. Quantities are limited and depend on field conditions. Once the season ends, preserved products are the best way to continue enjoying their flavor.
When fresh Habanadas are out of season, we preserve their flavor in small batches. COMING SOON!
