Mammoth Jalapeno Pepper (Jumbo Jalapeno)

A giant jalapeno, this one will make whopper poppers. Peppers have a smooth skin and thick flesh, which makes them easier to stuff. Or, use them in salsa, dips, or other recipes as you would normal-sized jalapenos. Plants are resistant to tobacco mosaic virus and potato virus.

The jalapeño pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a medium-sized chili belonging to the Capsicum genus, native to Mexico and now cultivated worldwide. Typically 5–10 centimeters long, it is known for its vibrant green or red color and moderate heat, ranging from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units. Jalapeños offer a crisp, slightly smoky flavor with a balance of heat and sweetness, making them highly versatile in cooking. They are commonly used fresh, pickled, or roasted in salsas, sauces, and stuffed dishes like jalapeño poppers. Their bold flavor adds spice and depth to a wide range of culinary traditions.
