Habanada No-Heat Habanero Seeds

Very unique pepper. Germination rate was excellent.Did excellent in containers and in beds, with decent yeilds. Great for bringing some habanero flavor without the heat! Will try to grow again!

I love these because they allow me to tone down hot sauce or chili powders without losing flavor. These were very prolific. The plants grew 3-4 feet tall and quite wide. **TIP: This year, I had much faster germination (5 days!) by alternating between 82 degrees for 8 hours and 90 degrees for 16 hours. This is what the original breeder at Cornell recommends. In order to get up to 90, I put the heat mat and tray in a cheap styrofoam cooler to trap heat. It worked great, though I'd still allow two weeks for germination, just in case.

My wife developed an allergy to hot peppers so I'm intrigued by the Habanada's All are germinated. Soaked overnight heat mat and grow light 88 degrees.

Great for "watering" down the heat of habaneros, I use a couple of these and one regular orange habanero in a big batch of salsa for tons of habanero flavor but not as much heat. I don't know what it is about habaneros, they have the best flavor to pair with salsas and hot sauces I think.
