Early Jalapeño Hot Pepper
Early Jalapeño is the classic hot pepper that anchors so much of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine — plump, dark-green fruits with thick walls, a moderate heat that builds gradually, and a fresh, grassy flavor that makes it irreplaceable in salsas, guacamole, and pickled pepper rings. This early-maturing variety produces heavy yields of firm, meaty jalapeños that can be used fresh, pickled, smoked into chipotles, or stuffed with cheese. The essential hot pepper for any kitchen garden.
