The Habanaga is a cultivar of the chili pepper Capsicum chinense developed in New Mexico when a university student unintentionally crossed a Habanero and a Naga Ghost Pepper.[2][when?]
Culinary use
The Habanaga pepper is rated as up to 800,000 Scoville Units.[by whom?] It can be used in soups, chili, pasta, nachos, burgers, cheese dips, garnish, dressing, stews, and sauces.[citation needed] A Habanero can be used as a substitute for the Habanaga if more heat is desired, but not as much as a ghost pepper.[2]
