Dr. Michael Mazourek at Cornell University bred the heat completely out of a habanero while keeping the fruity aroma and lantern shape. Zero SHU, all flavor. The name is a portmanteau of 'habanero' and 'nada' (nothing). Released in 2014 and immediately became a hit with chefs who wanted habanero flavor without the burn. [UPN incomplete — missing heat-level segment.]
