Description
Pepper Jalapeño (Capsicum annuum) is the definitive open-pollinated heirloom chili classic, celebrated worldwide for its versatile medium heat, thick crisp walls, and rich, earthy flavor. Producing sturdy, bushy 24- to 36-inch plants, it yields a prolific harvest of 3- to 3.5-inch, blunt-ended conical pods. The peppers begin as a glossy dark green before ripening to a deep, vibrant crimson red at full maturity. Ranging from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), Jalapeño provides the perfect spicy kick for fresh salsas, home pickling, jalapeño poppers, grilling, and hot sauces.
