3 FOR £5
Jalapeno is a popular chilli pepper variety, known for its mild to medium heat level and versatility in cooking. Originally from Mexico, jalapenos are now widely cultivated and used in many cuisines around the world.
The plant itself is compact and bushy, reaching up to 80cm in height. The peppers are typically 5-8cm in length, green when immature, and turn red as they mature. They have a thick, slightly curved shape with a smooth, glossy skin.
Jalapenos can be consumed fresh, pickled, or dried. They are often used in salsas, guacamole, and as a topping on pizzas, nachos, and sandwiches. The heat level of jalapenos can vary depending on the individual pepper and how it is prepared, but on average they range from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
