What makes it special?
Small, cream-white and noticeably hotter than it looks: Habanero Peruvian White is a more compact habanero variety with small, pale-ripening fruit and typical chinense aroma.
The variety comes from Peru and combines around 100,000–350,000 Scoville with fruity, lightly smoky notes. We raise our Peruvian White plants ourselves in Illmitz – a lovely choice for anyone wanting an unusual fruit colour among habaneros.
Flavour & Use
Peruvian White tastes fruity, aromatic and lightly smoky. Its heat sits in the typical habanero range of around 100,000–350,000 Scoville.
The small, pale fruit suits pale chilli sauces, bold marinades, fruit chutneys, ferments or pickling. Dried and ground into powder, its colour and habanero aroma also stay interesting.
Given the high heat, we recommend gloves when processing.
Fruit & Plant
The small fruit is usually around 2–5 cm long, narrow to lightly bean-shaped, and ripens from green to cream-white or very pale yellow.
Habanero Peruvian White grows more compactly than many large chinense varieties, often reaching around 45–70 cm. The plant branches well and can carry numerous small fruit.
Growing & Care
We recommend a full-sun, warm and sheltered spot. Given its fairly compact growth, the variety is very well suited to pot growing.
Plan for at least 8 litres, ideally 10 litres of pot volume; 15–20 litres is ideal if you have the space. Use a nutrient-rich, well-draining substrate, water evenly and avoid waterlogging.
The plant is not frost-hardy but can be overwintered in a bright, frost-free spot.

Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
