A medium size, low heat chilli that sits at 2,500 to 8,000 on the Scoville Heat Scale. The Jalapeno Chilli can be harvested green in colour or left until red to give a sweeter taste.

Originating from Mexico, did you know in 1982 the Jalapeno Chilli went into space on the space shuttle Columbia, now that’s literally taking this Chilli to new heights!
