Pepper Hot Jalapeno Gourmet

Pepper – Hot Jalapeno Gourmet   

Approximate Seed Quantity: 10

Worthy of the word gourmet! A very popular and versatile Mexican chilli which is eaten both green and red. The compact plants are easily managed and produce a good crop over a long season. The chillies can be harvested green or red, and when ripe can remain on the plant for several weeks without deteriorating. The thick walled fruits are moderately hot and are often stuffed with cream cheese before being cooked. Being crisp and juicy, they also make good salsa and are particularly good chargrilled as a side dish to cold meats or curries. This variety is particularly compact, highly productive, and the chillies have a better flavour and a bit more pungency than the majority of strains and hybrids generally available.
