Developed by pepper breeder Steve Bender at Innovation Acre, the Tabanero is an exciting cross between two legendary peppers: the Tabasco and the Habanero. The goal was simple—create a hotter, more flavorful Tabasco while preserving its signature juiciness—and the result is truly exceptional.
The Tabanero delivers a bold, mouthwatering burst of flavor followed by a noticeably stronger heat than traditional Tabasco. Its complex, vibrant profile is both sweet and slightly fruity with a bright, tangy finish, making it as delicious as it is fiery. With a heat range averaging 50,000 to 150,000 Scoville Heat Units, it offers a satisfying kick without overpowering the palate.
Tabanero peppers are elongated and grow slightly thicker than standard Tabasco peppers, making them perfect for fresh use, sauces, and fermentation.
Plants are shipped in 3 inch reusable plastic pots and are approximately 4 to 6 inches tall.
