The jalapeño. America's favorite chile pepper. You've eaten them. They're great. But if you want to shift the mighty Jalapeño into overdrive, I invite you to discover the NuMex Jalapeño! Developed by the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University, this pepper is a delightful twist on the classic jalapeño. It’s approximately 2-3 inches long and 1 inch wide at the shoulder, tapering to a rounded tip. The NuMex Jalapeño starts out green and ripens to a bright, fire engine red. With a hot Scoville heat rating of 35,000 units, it offers a ramped up heat with a traditional jalapeño flavor.

These peppers are perfect for salsas and dips, ideal for pickling, and great for stuffing with cheese or other fillings. They add a zesty kick to tacos, burritos, and chili, and are fantastic in fresh salsas, hot sauces, and marinades. Elevate your culinary experience with the distinctive flavor of the NuMex Jalapeño Chile Pepper!
