America’s Favorite chile pepper is by far the jalapeno, a thick-fleshed pepper about 3 inches long (give or take). It’s a bright green little guy that can be lovingly incorporated into just about anything, from soups to Lemonade.
We offer A more flavorful, gourmet jalapeño ZAPOTEC, this ancient heirloom sings with smoky sweet flavor and heat! Ancient variety from Oaxaca, Mexico. 2- to 3-foot tall plants covered in 1- to 2-inch deep green pods that ripen to a carnival red color with tan crack lines. Considered hot for a jalapeño.
The majority of our jalapeño peppers come from Mexico, where the natives eat them as snack foods, plucking them in droves from sidewalk carts and fields. The red variety of the jalapeño is a bit milder than the green variety, and sweeter as well.
