🌶️ Habanero Red Savina - The legendary super hot habanero

The Red Savina is an iconic Capsicum chinense, famous for having held the title of hottest pepper in the world for many years. An improved selection of the classic habanero, this variety is known for its fiery sharpness and rich, fruity flavor.

The medium-sized, slightly wrinkled fruits ripen from green to intense red and contain a heat of as much as 350,000-577,000 SHU. This made the Red Savina the official record holder for many years in the Guinness World Records as the hottest pepper in the world, until it was passed by the Bhut Jolokia.
