== About Habanero chile ==
This distinctively flavored, extremely hot chile is small and lantern-shaped. The habanero ranges from light green to bright orange when ripe. It's generally used for sauces in both its fresh and dried form. The peppers are actually so hot and dangerous that precautionary measures should be taken when handling them, including nylon or latex gloves and goggles to prevent getting capsaicin in your eyes. Capsaicin is the chemical used in Pepper Spray. When cooking with these, be conservative in the amounts used.
== Buying Habanero chile ==
