JALAPENO PEPPER


This chili gained its worldwide popularity by being versatile, beautiful and sweet tasting. Jalapenos are best harvested when green and are hottest when they turn red and are fully ripe reaching 4,000-5,000 Scoville heat units. Jalapenos averages 3"x 1 1/2" in size and taper to a blunt tip. Thick-walled, juicy peppers grow on stocky 2 foot tall plants that produce such high yields of Jalapeno that the plants look like the branches will break or the plant will fall over.
