The Habanaga is a cultivar of the chili pepper Capsicum chinense developed in New Mexico when a university student accidentally crossed a Habanero and a Naga Ghost Pepper.[citation needed][when?]

Culinary use[]

The Habanaga pepper is known for its fiery and fruity flavor.[by whom?] They can be used in soups, chili, pasta, nachos, burgers, cheese dips, stews, sauces, and any other recipe. Heat-lovers could substitute a Habanero for a Habanaga if they want more heat, but not to Ghost pepper level.[2]
