So you want to grow Habanero's

How do you use these? Deep fry them like a jalapeno popper?

Better wear gloves when cutting them mofos

Make hot sauce with them.

Everytime I put them in a meal, it's not edible to most people.

Same is true with me. I, however, dice them up and put at least one whole one (uncooked and ripe) on almost every food I eat.

Want to spice up breakfast? Eggs with a raw habenero crumble.

Want to spice up lunch? Hamburger with a raw habenero relish.

Want to spice up dinner? Steak with a raw habenero....well just a raw habenero.

If you remove the ribs and seeds, they aren't too hot.

I don't remove anything. I bask in the glory of the orange pepper.

So do I, I was just giving an alternative for the "most people" who find a dish with habanero to be inedible.

I thought about growing some because Jalapenos are not hot enough for my taste. But I've noticed a bitter after taste in store bought Habs. My Mexican cleaning lady also finds them bitter. So I'm growing Thais this year.

I've got about 20 plants that are 15-17 inches tall right now and will eventually look like this..



They look like cayenne but are hotter. I'll use them in chili, Asian stir fry, and chopped up and sprinkled on Nachos. It's also a pretty plant in pots along my deck.

Habaneros have a much better taste than Jalapenos, in my opinion. Love them. I can't grow them for shite though.

People that nuke their taste buds with habanero peppers may not be the best judge of what tastes good.

Oh look at you hot shot. "I don't eat habenero peppers so my food judgment is better than yours."

I don't really like raw chile peppers of any kind but habaneros are definitely the best tasting pepper in its raw form, they are fantastic cooked and in hot sauce. Probably my favorite chile overall

Got some scorpion cheddar cheese from whole foods the other day that is delicious
