General Information: The Jalapeño Pepper is one of the most popular hot pepper varieties, known for its medium heat and rich, smoky flavour. Plants are productive and easy to grow, yielding thick-walled, glossy green fruits that can be used fresh or dried. Jalapeños thrive in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering and feeding encourage consistent fruiting. Allowing peppers to fully ripen on the plant enhances both sweetness and heat intensity, making them versatile for a wide range of culinary uses.
