Prized by chile aficionados not only for its intense heat, but its distinct fruitiness, the habanero is used in sensational salsas (see recipe inside) and will turn a bland barbeque into a fiery feast. Habaneros are said to be 100X hotter than jalapeños (but after the first 100000 scoville heat units, who's counting) 100000 to 350000 scoville heat units (extremely hot).
