The Jalapeno M Chili is a popular pungent pepper variety known for its intense heat and distinctive flavor. Typically used in Mexican and American cuisine 🌮, these peppers add a delicious spicy kick to any dish. They are ideal for raw consumption or pickling, making them a favorite for many home gardeners and chefs alike.
The Jalapeno M matures in 70 to 75 days, producing sausage-shaped fruits that average 3.5" x 1.5". These dark green peppers are slow to ripen, turning red over time as they reach full maturity. They can grow on upright plants that range from 26" to 36" tall, making them a versatile choice for home gardens and containers. The plant continues producing peppers over an extended period, ensuring a steady supply of fresh chili peppers throughout the growing season.
Jalapenos are famous for their medium heat, with a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) of 3,500 to 6,000. They provide a nice balance of heat and flavor without being overwhelming, making them perfect for a wide range of dishes, from salsas to sauces and even grilled meats.
