Jalapa: A new take on the classic jalapeño

A new star in the chili sky

The Jalapa, an innovative variant of the traditional Jalapeño, is characterized by its adaptability and high yield. This variety is the result of targeted breeding efforts to develop a thick-fleshed, flavourful fruit with moderate spiciness. The Jalapa offers a harmonious balance between flavour and spiciness, allowing it to be used in a wide range of culinary applications. From fresh salsas to stuffed and grilled delicacies, the Jalapa is an asset to any kitchen.

Adaptable and productive

The Jalapa impresses not only with its taste, but also with its adaptability to different climatic conditions. With a short growing season, it is particularly well suited to the Central European climate. The plant reaches a height of 50 to 80 cm and produces abundant 6 cm long fruits that ripen from a juicy green to a bright red. This garden beauty provides a steady harvest, making it a reliable source of fresh chilies throughout the growing season.
