Prized by chile aficionados not only for its intense heat, but its distinct fruitiness, the habanero is used in sensational salsas (see recipe inside), and will turn a bland barbeque into a fiery feast! Habaneros are said to be 100 times hotter than jalapeos (but after the first 100,000 Scoville heat units, who’s counting?) 100,000-350,000 Scoville heat units (extremely hot).
