Description
The White Habanero is a rare and striking variety whose small, lantern-shaped pods ripen to a pale ivory-white rather than the typical orange or red. Despite its ghostly appearance, it delivers the characteristic intense heat and complex tropical, floral flavor of the habanero family with full potency. Sought after by specialty growers and hot sauce producers for its dramatic visual contrast, where its pale color creates surprising and elegant effects in dishes and sauces.
