Looking for no-heat Habaneros because you love the flavor but want to tame the heat? We have two varieties of no-heat Habaneros that have the complex fruity flavor of habaneros but without the heat.
Here are our 2 no-heat Habaneros:
1. The Habanada is a sweet habanero pepper with crisp, thin skin with exotic, floral flavor. Now you can enjoy the bright tropical sweetness of habaneros without a hint of heat. These are great to use to make mild salsa recipes, or, to combine with hot habaneros to create a more flavorful habanero salsa or hot sauce without as much heat.
These no-heat Habaneros will be ready to harvest starting around 100 days from sowing seeds, so make sure to start them indoors 8-12 weeks before your last frost so that you can ensure they have a long growing season. They have a different shape than classic habaneros, so it will help you tell them apart when harvesting! As thse are chinense species, they are also long lived so if you keep them from cold temperatures and frost, they can live many years as they are perennial. The seeds are slow to germinate, so be patient – you will be rewarded with delicious orange gems that are packed with habanero flavor but no heat in late summer!
2. Our No-Heat Habanero Trick or Treat NuMex is a no-heat Habanero that has all the delicious fruitiness of hot habaneros but without the heat. This sweet pepper tastes like an orange habanero but has has no spice! We even think that the flavor and aroma of Trick or Treat is equal to, or better than a hot habanero! This variety was crossed with a Capsicum chinense orange habanero that was lacking the capsacin heat gene. Great for adding to salsa recipes or hot sauce recipes!
