Description:
The spiciness of the Habanero Red Savina can reach 600.000 SHU. It has Caribbean origins and it's cultivated in Southern America (Mexico) and in the Southern US (California and Texas). It belongs to the Capsicum chinense species and it's also known as "Dominican’s Devil Tongue" and "Ball of Fire".
The Habanero family has many varieties, apart from the Red Savina, Peperita also chose to cultivate the Habanero Fatali (n.8) and the Habanero Chocolate (n.9), which are among the most odorous. However, there are more varieties of these chilli peppers, such as the White and Orange. The fruit is shaped like a lantern with a pointy end, when still young it's green, and it becomes an intense orange color while it ripens until it finally develops into its typical red color.
Particular low-temperature techniques of humidity extraction have been employed for the production of this powder, making it possible to keep unaltered the original scent of the chili pepper.
Among many of the healthy micro elements of the Habanero, we can find: Vitamin A, which improves the condition of eyes, hair, and skin; and Vitamin C, which not only stops the spread of free radicals but is also useful and crucial in raising the barriers of our immune systems, thus lowering the risks of tumors by inhibiting the synthesis of carcinogenic substances.
