food Did I get lucky?

Mr. T

Ran by the grocery store today and, instead of the normal orange, they had these red habaneros.

Can anyone summarize the difference I might expect?

Also, I am certain this has been asked before, but it wont let me search for "red habanero". Mods should really consider allowing search terms with three letters.

It sounds like its just a more mature Hab Turned red. Should be a little sweeter taste but still packs the same heat punch a normal Hab would. Good find though!

Aye, thank you. Learn something every day.

Just cooked up some tortilla soup with those habaneros, and I agree with first response that they have better flavor. They also seem to have a bit more heat (or it is in my head).

Thank you both for the responses!
 
I believe you got a good find with more heat. I have never seen ones like that in color in my supermarket nearby. The farmer's market is another story. supermarket habs are rarely hot to me.
 
Nice find. I think the red are hotter too, and have a much better flavor. I've only seen red habaneros in the supermarket once. They were really gnarly shaped, really hot for habaneros, and had a really nice flavor. Only lasted a week and it was back to the poor tasting, half rotten orange habaneros. :rolleyes:
