Habanero Petenero

Habanero Petenero is a Capsicum chinense of the Habanero type from the Lago Petén Itzá region in Guatemala. Since there are numerous Mayan sites in this region, it can be assumed that this variety was cultivated by the Maya. The medium-sized, richly branched plants of this traditional variety provide high yields of small, ribbed pods. These develop an excellent, sweet flavor and a strong Habanero heat. With Petenero you bring a culinary highlight of Central American culture into your garden.
