This chilli is the same family as a Habanero,
Capsicum Chinense. The word "suave" is Spanish for mellow, smooth or mild. The Chile
Pepper Institute have developed these two chillies with all the flavours of the Habanero but less heat. These are must have chillies for cooks who like the taste of the Habanero.
Capsicum Chinense have unique flavours but most people can not taste them because of the heat. The Suaves have a citrus like flavour with an orange lemony overtone with an apricot aroma.
The heat is in the back of the mouth and throat and not on the lips and tongue. Each plant can yield up to 100 fruits.
