We always want more photos of Black Habanero. Every photo you add is credited to you.
A superhot C. chinense from Mexico, 425,000 to 577,000 SHU. The pods hang down, 1 to 2 inches long, green going to brown, habanero-shaped with thin walls. Plants reach 36 to 42 inches with white flowers.
A brown-black habanero, rarer than the familiar orange and red ones. It has an exotic fruit flavour and suits growers with some experience.
Universal Pepper Nomenclature
One code for one pepper, no matter what people call it. Universal Pepper Nomenclature sits behind the names people use and describes the pepper itself: the species, the color it ripens to, its skin, the shape of the pod, and how hot it runs. The last three digits tell apart peppers that match on all of that.
Six parts, always in this order, always split by hyphens. The WikiPepper Foundation board issues every code. Editors cannot create or edit a code.
