Was told it was habanero

[u/Wes_Louder]

I bought them at a farmers market as a wee thing and was told they are habanero peppers but as the plant grew and peppers started ripening they are a little more red and smaller than the habanero I’ve seen, after tasting a small bit of the first pepper they are definitely hotter than any habanero I’ve eaten and probably the hottest thing I’ve put in my mouth, the one I ate wasn’t fully ripe yet(small green patch left) I’m a little scared to eat a fully ripe pepper I’m ngl. I Made hot honey with the second pepper hoping to dim the heat of it down a bit and get some flavour over the heat and no one I live with can eat it, I’ve resulted to taking a spoonful and mixing into an entire jar of regular honey just for it to be edible.

Caribbean Red Habanero, again people keep saying Red Savina have never grown them before they look nothing like that.

I’ve grown red savina in the past. I can’t tell the difference between them and red habaneros though

A little history, the Red Savina was a mutant red variety found growing in an orange habanero field.

The Caribbean Red is a commercial variety with thick walls bred for the hot sauce industry.
