Habaneros Taste

AlittleSalt · May 23, 2017

Just about everyone has heard about habanero peppers. There are a lot of untrue thoughts about them. I know people who think they are the hottest peppers available. Well, in a average grocery store - I guess they are.

What I'm wondering is if there is a lot of difference in the taste of the different habanero varieties? I don't mean how hot they are, but taste.

I grew some NuMex Suave Orange which is nowhere near as hot as an average Jalapeno. However, I did not care for the taste - it had an odd taste that didn't taste like any other pepper I've ever eaten.
Kind of like eating a stink bug.
