Jalapeño peppers, a culinary staple in both Mexico and the American Southwest, are renowned for their versatility and robust flavour. These steady producers may take a bit of time to start flowering, but once they do, they continue yielding throughout the growing season. The plants reach a height of about 3 feet, producing blunt-ended fruits with thick, dark green skins that transition to a vibrant red when fully ripe.

The flavour of Jalapeños deepens as the peppers ripen, and both the green and red colours find their classic uses in various culinary applications. Green peppers are commonly employed for roasting, stuffing, pickling, and salsas, while the stunning red peppers often undergo mesquite-smoking to create chipotle, are strung on ristras for easy access, or are dried and transformed into a potent chilli powder.

One of the remarkable qualities of jalapeños is their self-pollinating nature; they don’t rely on insects for fertility but rather benefit from a touch of wind. This attribute contributes to their reliability as consistent producers.

Whether you’re enjoying the zesty kick of green jalapeños in your favourite salsa or savouring the smoky richness of chipotle made from ripe red peppers, jalapeños are a culinary cornerstone that brings both heat and flavour to a wide range of dishes. Elevate your culinary creations with the classic taste of jalapeño peppers, a beloved ingredient in kitchens around the world.
