Habanero
The habanero (; ) is a variety of chili pepper. When used in English, it is sometimes spelled and pronounced habañero,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Habanero )〕 the tilde being added as a hyperforeignism patterned after jalapeño. Unripe habaneros are green, and they color as they mature. Common colors are orange and red, but white, brown, yellow, and pink are also seen. Typically, a ripe habanero chili is long. Habanero chilis are very hot, rated 100,000–350,000 on the Scoville scale.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chile Pepper Heat Scoville Scale )〕
==Name==
The name means "someone or something from ''La Habana'', or as it is known in English, Havana ("b" and "v" being interchangeable phonetically in Spanish). As the Spanish name "La Habana" contains a normal "n" instead of an "ñ", the pepper's name contains an "n" as well.
The demonym in this case is formed using the suffix -ero; demonyms may also be formed with the suffix -eño, such as in the case of jalapeños, which come from Jalapa. During the process of importing "jalapeño" and "habanero" into English, the similarity of the words and their subject matter have led to a hyperforeignism in which the tilde is sometimes incorrectly added to "habanero" resulting in habañero.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Habanero )〕
