Description
The Red Savina Habanero is a selectively bred habanero cultivar developed by Frank Garcia in California, which held the Guinness World Record as the world's hottest pepper from 1994 to 2006 with peaks of 577,000 SHU. Its small, wrinkled red lantern-shaped pods far exceed standard habanero heat while maintaining the characteristic tropical, fruity flavor of the habanero family. Still prized by hot sauce makers and pepper enthusiasts for its record-breaking heat history and exceptional fruity depth.
