Nutritional Information

Habanero Pepper! - Know What's in The Sauce!

Benefits
When habaneros are picked green, this chile contains even more vitamin C than citrus fruit. Because of its high antioxidant content -- vitamin C, for example -- habaneros may slow the signs of aging and help prevent some types of cancer, as well as arthritis and heart disease. Capsaicin, a chemical found in the veins of habanero peppers and other chiles, may destroy prostate cancer cells, according to research published the May 2006 issue of the journal "Cancer Research."

How Much Do You Love Hot Sauce!

    I love hot sauce but not pure heat that's there just to burn your tongue. For me it has to have some sort of flavor component besides vinegar.
