The first thing that comes to mind when you hear “Madame Jeanette” is not likely one of the hotter chili peppers on the planet.
But that’s what it is, ranking right up there with its cousin the habanero pepper in overall heat.
At 125,000 to 325,000 Scoville heat units, the Madame Jeanette is not a chili to be trifled with lightly.
That’s 15 to 130 times hotter than our jalapeño reference point, as mentioned, much like its habanero cousin.
