🌶️ Jalapeño NuMex — The Jumbo Jewel of the Southwest

Thick, glossy, and bred for performance, the Jalapeño NuMex chile is a refined take on one of the world’s most beloved peppers. Developed by New Mexico State University’s Chile Pepper Institute, this Capsicum annuum cultivar—especially the NuMex Jalmundo strain—was designed to produce larger, uniform pods with mild heat and high yield, ideal for commercial growers and home chefs alike.

Its name, Jalmundo, fuses “jalapeño” with mundo (Spanish for “world”), hinting at its globe-sized pods that can reach up to 4 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. With a Scoville rating of 1,000 to 5,000 SHU, it offers a gentle burn and classic jalapeño flavor—grassy, slightly bitter, and fresh. Perfect for stuffing, pickling, or slicing, NuMex jalapeños are the go-to choice for jalapeño poppers, thanks to their size and thick walls.
