Description
Jalapeño is the classic medium-hot pepper for fresh salsa, pickling, stuffing, grilling, and everyday cooking. The thick-walled fruits are usually harvested glossy green, then ripen red if left on the plant, deepening in color and sweetness as they mature.
Plants are productive and useful, setting plenty of smooth, blunt peppers with familiar heat and garden-fresh crunch. This is the pepper that earns its space by being needed again and again—from tacos and cornbread to jars of pickled rings.
