Named after the capital of Veracruz, Mexico - Jalapa, Jalapeno Chile Peppers are among the most popular and commonly available hot chiles in the United States. In 1982, these smooth, dark green chiles (the ripe form of the green Jalapeno is red) were the first chiles to be taken into space. Jalapenos are about 2 inches long and approximately 3/4 to 1 inch thick with a rounded tip. Sold fresh from Melissa’s in 10# bulk, Jalapenos are found in a multitude of Latin dishes. Ranging from mild to very hot with a green vegetable flavor, Jalapenos can easily be seeded and added to soups, stews, and dips; they can also be enjoyed whole when roasted with meats or stuffed with cheese. Red Jalapenos have a sweeter flavor and are often pickled or smoked to make chipotles.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Melissa’s Jalapeno Chiles are hand-selected for excellent quality. Choose bright green, glossy peppers that are firm with a medium to thick flesh. Avoid soft spots. Refrigerate, unwashed in a plastic bag for up to 5 days.
