Habanero chili
The habanero chili is a type of chili pepper. Unripe habaneros are green. They gain color as they mature. Common colors are orange and red, but white, brown, and pink habanero chilis are also seen. Typically a ripe habanero chili is 2–6 centimetres (0.8–2.4 in) long. Habanero chilis are very spicy; they are rated 100,000–350,000 on the Scoville scale.[1]

The habanero chili comes from the Amazon basin. From there, it was spread in Mexico.[2] The habanero is a perennial flowering plant. With proper care and growing conditions, it can produce flowers (and thus fruit) for many years.
