PERUVIAN WHITE HABANERO

Capsicum chinense

We like tiny peppers. This diminutive white habanero was probably the first of the many tiny peppers grown in our gardens. The plants produce tons and tons of small bright white pods. Beautiful in a moonlit garden or in a pretty pot on the patio. Pick promptly for best color. Fruits left on the plant too long will yellow.

Flavor is excellent. Similar to a good orange habanero. And just as hot: at least 100,000 SHU. Makes a fantastic white hot sauce. Pods dry very easily and can be ground for use in cream or coconut based sauces that you'd rather not marr with color. Beautiful and unexpected in a jar of cornichons.

Packet contains at least 15 seeds.
