Caribbean red is a habanero variety of chilli, which originated from the Yucutan Peninsula in Mexico, this pepper variety is very hot measuring 445,000 scoville heat units. The slightly wrinkled chiles are approximately 1¼cm (1in) wide by 2cm (1½in) long and are similiar in shape to the Habanero. The chillies ripen from lime green to a brilliant red in 110 days and are produced on very productive plants that reach 75cm (30in) tall. As well as the blistering heat, they have a lovely fruity flavour which makes them an excellent choice for use in salsas, marinades and of course, in hot sauce.[1]
