Orange Habanero

Orange Habanero is a variety of habanero pepper known for its bright orange color and intense heat. Habaneros are native to the Amazon region and were spread throughout the Americas by Spanish explorers. The peppers are typically dried and ground into a powder or used fresh to add flavor and spice.

Orange Habanero is used as a spice to add heat and a fruity flavor to foods. It is commonly found in hot sauces, marinades, salsas, and rubs. Manufacturers use it to enhance the taste profile of savory dishes and snacks.

Orange Habanero is a food ingredient and not subject to FDA additive regulations. Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat, may cause digestive upset in some individuals. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for habanero peppers. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated Orange Habanero as a distinct ingredient.
