Jalapeño Market Potato is a traditional Capsicum annuum jalapeño variety developed for reliable yield and consistent pod quality. It is grown primarily for fresh use and processing, valued for its thick flesh and balanced heat rather than extreme pungency.
Pods are medium-sized, cylindrical, and blunt-ended, typically 7–9 cm long. Fruits ripen from green to red when fully mature and have thick walls, making them well suited to slicing, stuffing, pickling, and cooking.
Flavour is clean and vegetal with the classic jalapeño profile. Heat is regarded as Mild, generally falling within the lower end of the jalapeño range, providing warmth without overpowering dishes. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this specific selection.
Plants are compact to medium-sized and highly productive. They perform well in open ground, greenhouses, and containers, producing uniform pods over a long harvesting period.
Market Potato is recognised as a stable jalapeño type developed for market growing and culinary consistency, maintaining the traditional characteristics that make jalapeños a staple chilli worldwide.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
