Jalapeño Mammoth is a large-fruited Capsicum annuum jalapeño variety selected for its impressive pod size and thick flesh. It is grown primarily for culinary use, where size and texture are prioritised over high heat.
Pods are very large for a jalapeño, cylindrical with blunt ends, and can exceed 10 cm in length under good conditions. Fruits ripen from green to red when fully mature and have notably thick walls, making them well suited to stuffing, grilling, roasting, and slicing.
Flavour is fresh and vegetal with the classic jalapeño character. Heat is regarded as Mild, delivering gentle warmth that remains well balanced and accessible. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are robust and productive, typically reaching medium height with a strong structure capable of supporting the larger fruits. Jalapeño Mammoth performs well in greenhouses, open ground, and large containers when provided with warmth and regular feeding.
The breeder and detailed background of Jalapeño Mammoth are not formally documented. It is recognised as a selection developed to maximise pod size while retaining traditional jalapeño flavour and manageable heat.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
