The exact origin of this pepper is unknown, but it probably comes from Louisiane or Texas in the U.S.A., or from Mexico. Its popularity is allegedly due to Frank X.

The Jalapeño pepper is probably amongst the most well-known and loved hot pepper there is. It comes from the city of Xalapa, in Mexico. Jalapeño peppers are particularly generous in terms of fruits produced. Each plant grows several conical green fruits that will turn red once fully ripe. You can harvest them when they are still green, which is how we often encounter them in stores and restaurants, to get a milder pepper. If you wait until they are fully ripe and red, they will gain in spiciness and flavor. Hot but not burning, this pepper is quite versatile. It will soon become an essential for your Indian or Mexican inspired recipes.   Package: Around 20 seeds Photo credit: Kokopelli
