White habanero peppers, known also as Peruvian White Lightning, are a variety of the Capsicum chinense species, celebrated for their deceptive appearance and intense heat. Despite their creamy white to light yellow color, which might suggest a milder flavor, these peppers pack a significant punch, often ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making them as hot or hotter than their orange counterparts. Originating from Peru, they have been embraced in Mexican and Caribbean cuisines for their unique fruity and slightly smoky flavor, adding both heat and a distinctive taste to dishes. Their history intertwines with the broader tale of habanero peppers, which were named after Havana due to trade significance, although they are not native to Cuba but to the Amazon basin. The spread of habaneros, including the white variety, across the globe is largely due to Spanish explorers during the Columbian Exchange, leading to their cultivation far beyond their South American origins.
