Habanero Chili (Capsicum chinense)
Habanero chili is a variety of hot pepper belonging to the species Capsicum chinense. It is known for its small, brightly coloured fruits, distinctive fruity aroma and exceptionally intense heat. Originally from tropical regions of the Americas, Habanero chili is now cultivated in many parts of the world and is highly valued both in traditional cuisine and herbal preparations.
It belongs to the nightshade family (Solanaceae).
In herbalism, we use the ripe fruits (fructus), which contain naturally occurring capsaicinoids. The best-known of these is capsaicin, a compound responsible for the characteristic burning sensation associated with hot peppers. Habanero peppers also contain carotenoids, flavonoids and other plant compounds that contribute to their distinctive colour and composition.
Chili peppers have a long history of use among the Indigenous peoples of Central and South America. They have been cultivated for thousands of years, serving as an important part of traditional diets and local plant knowledge. Over time, chili peppers spread to other parts of the world, becoming widely appreciated for their flavour, warmth and versatility.
Among the many varieties of chili peppers, Habanero stands out for its particularly high pungency. Its heat is commonly measured using the Scoville scale, with Habanero peppers typically ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), depending on the variety and growing conditions.
Traditionally, chili peppers have been valued for their warming and stimulating sensory properties. The characteristic sensation of warmth is caused by capsaicin interacting with specific receptors involved in the perception of heat. These properties have made chili peppers an interesting subject of modern scientific research.
Today, Habanero chili is appreciated for its distinctive natural compounds and intense character. Due to its high capsaicinoid content, concentrated extracts require particular care, especially when intended for internal use.

What makes Habanero chili different from other chili peppers?
Habanero chili (Capsicum chinense) is known for its exceptional heat and distinctive fruity aroma. It contains naturally occurring capsaicinoids, particularly capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, which are responsible for its characteristic pungency.
Habanero peppers typically range from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), although their heat varies depending on the variety, growing conditions and maturity of the fruits.
We use dried Habanero peppers in our tincture, prepared through traditional cold maceration with 45% alcohol as the extraction solvent. This method allows us to obtain capsaicinoids and other naturally occurring plant compounds.
Why do we use dried Habanero peppers in our tincture?
Drying reduces the natural moisture content of the peppers, making it easier to maintain a consistent concentration of alcohol during extraction.
Capsaicinoids are relatively stable during appropriate drying and storage, although their content may vary depending on the drying method and conditions.
Using dried peppers allows us to prepare a more consistent herbal extract with a characteristic profile of naturally occurring compounds.
Is Habanero Chili Tincture suitable for everyone?
Habanero chili contains high concentrations of capsaicinoids, which can strongly irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract.
People with sensitive digestion, acid reflux, gastritis or stomach ulcers should be particularly cautious. The tincture is not recommended for children or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The intensity of the extract depends on the capsaicinoid content of the peppers, which can vary between harvests. Therefore, even very small amounts may cause a strong burning sensation.
