Bonnie Plants Jalapeno Hot Pepper Live Vegetable Plants - 4 Pack, Non-GMO, 24 - 48 Inch Plants, 3 Inch Pepper Size

The Jalapeño, named after the town of Jalapa in Mexico, is the most widely used chile pepper in the United States. These peppers produce 3-inch, thick-walled pods that are moderately hot and feature a deep green color that matures into a vibrant red. As the fruit ages, the skin may develop a netting pattern, but this does not impact the flavor. Interestingly, the heat level of Jalapeño peppers can vary, even among those grown on the same plant.

Factors such as rapid growth, ample water supply, and timely harvesting can result in milder Jalapeños, while peppers that remain on the plant for an extended period or develop under stressful conditions may be hotter. This versatile chile pepper boasts a Scoville heat range of 2,500 to 5,000 units, placing it in the medium heat category.

For the best yields, Jalapeño plants should be grown in full sun. The fruit begins to mature approximately 72 days after planting. Whether used fresh, pickled, or in various culinary applications, the Jalapeño remains a beloved and widely used ingredient in the United States.
