Interesting Facts

Habanero peppers are one of the hottest chili peppers in the world, so be careful when handling them.

The capsaicin in habanero peppers is what gives them their heat. It can also provide various health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and improving digestion.

The lime juice not only adds a tangy flavor to the guacamole but also helps prevent the avocados from browning.

If you prefer less heat, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the habanero pepper before chopping it.
