Habanero Pepper
Habanero pepper is a small, extremely spicy chili pepper that originates from the Yucatan region of Mexico. It is one of the hottest peppers in the world, with a rating of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units, which is much hotter than a jalapeno pepper. The heat of the habanero is derived from its high concentration of capsaicin, a compound that produces a burning sensation in the mouth and throat.

They are also believed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, although further research is needed to confirm these benefits.
Due to their extreme spiciness, habanero peppers should be used with caution and handled carefully, as they can cause skin irritation and burns if not properly handled. It is recommended to wear gloves when handling habanero peppers, and to use small amounts in cooking until you are accustomed to their level of heat.
