When fresh, the Lemon Drop Habanero Peppers are bright mustard yellow, about 2 inches long with pointy tips. They turn a darker color when dried, but retain an unmistakable lemon-y flavor. They taste more like the lemon drop candy than lemons themselves, but their considerable heat eliminates any trace of sweetness. Their flavor is slightly reminiscent of habañeros, whose remarkable fruitiness can be dominated by face-melting spiciness. If those chiles are just too hot for you to get any enjoyment from them, Lemon Drop peppers are a worthy substitute.
The chile "heat" of the Lemon Drop Habanero typically ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 on the Scoville scale.
