Description
Chilli Name: JALAPEÑO GOURMET
Chilli Species: Capsicum Annuum

Jalapeño Gourmet is a Capsicum annuum variety selected for consistent pod quality and suitability for fresh culinary use. It is grown for flavour, flesh thickness, and manageable heat rather than high pungency.
Pods are medium-sized, cylindrical, and blunt-ended, typically produced evenly across the plant. Fruits ripen from green to red when fully mature and have thick, crisp walls, making them well suited to stuffing, slicing, pickling, and cooking.
Flavour is clean and vegetal with the familiar jalapeño character. Heat is regarded as Mild, delivering gentle warmth without overpowering dishes. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are compact to medium-sized and productive, producing uniform pods over an extended harvesting period. Jalapeño Gourmet performs well in open ground, greenhouses, and containers under warm growing conditions.
The background and breeder of Jalapeño Gourmet are not formally documented. It is recognised as a stable jalapeño type selected for culinary consistency and ease of growing rather than regional or historical significance.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
