Further InformationEdit Edit

A hot C. chinense habanero-type variety, distinct from the heatless Caribbean Aji Dulce family. Despite the "Dulce" name, this is a full-heat habanero at 100,000–350,000 SHU. "Dulce" here references the fruity, sweet flavor notes of habaneros generally, not absence of heat. Habanero-type pods ripen to caramel/orange. From the Caribbean/Venezuelan habanero family.
