They're a special variety of habanero bred by Cornell University to have all of the flavor of habaneros with literally zero heat (get it? Haba-Nada?) - they're flipping amazing, I can munch my way through a bag out of hand as easily as if they were cherries or strawberries. Fantastic for salsas and "normal" chili applications, totally unique and amazing for desserts and other sweets.

I've only ever seen the fruits themselves at the Union Square farmer's market, but seeds are readily available online.
