| Description | Red Savina peppers are a Habanero chili cultivar that produce hotter, larger, and heavier fruit. Fruit are 5cm long by 4cm wide and wrinkled. They mature from green to shiny red. Red Savina have a Scoville Heat rating of 200,000-577,000 units and are second only in heat to the Naga Jolokia pepper. The peppers have a fruity, mildly smoky flavor, but directly consuming them - and even touching the seeds - can be dangerous because of their extreme heat. |
