Chili Pepper (Jalapeños)

Product Overview:
Jalapeño Peppers are prized for being the most versatile "medium-heat" chili in the culinary world. Sourced from farms that ensure optimal ripening for a balanced spice profile, our jalapeños are characterized by their smooth, glossy skin and fleshy, succulent walls. Unlike thinner chilies, the jalapeño offers a meaty texture that holds up exceptionally well to high-heat cooking and pickling. Whether you enjoy them fresh for a bright, grassy heat or roasted for a smoky finish, these peppers deliver a consistent gourmet experience.

Key Features:

Thick, Meaty Walls: Selected for their heavy build, making them the ideal vessel for "Poppers" or chunky salsas.

Balanced Spice Profile: Offers a "controlled heat" (typically 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units) that provides a spicy tingle without overwhelming the palate.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every pepper is hand-inspected for a firm structure and a vibrant green stem. We look for a smooth, taut skin—the ultimate indicator of crispness and high juice content (SQA Checked).

Versatile Flavor: Features a unique "green" flavor similar to a bell pepper but with an unmistakable spicy finish.

Storage Instructions:
Store in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer. To keep them at peak "snap" for up to 2 weeks, place them in a dry, breathable bag. If you see small white "stretch marks" (corking) on the skin, don't worry—this is often a sign of a more mature, spicier pepper!
