Early Jalapeño Chilli Seeds
Early Jalapeño Chilli Seeds
Medium
Produced using 100% renewable energy!
An early maturing variant if the classic Jalapeño. It can mature in as little as 65 days under ideal/optimum conditions. Ideal meaning enough warmth, light and nutrients from the point of sowing onwards.
We understand that achieving ideal/optimum conditions is not always achievable, especially in the UK climate. However, when grown alongside other classic Jalapeño varieties, this cultivar does produce an early harvest by as much as a few weeks, so it is well worth a try growing yourself.
Fresh Jalapenos are great in salsas, thinly sliced for nachos or pizza toppings, or pickled to preserve them. When ripe, they are often smoked and dried and are then called Chipotle and used to flavour sauces, soups and stews.
Information
The plants are upright, 3 to 4 feet tall with woody stems. The fruits take about 65 days from sowing to harvest with each plant producing 20 to 30 fruits which are typically 8 to 10cm long and 2 to 3cm wide and conical. The plants usually need some support as they start to fruit, to avoid branches being broken by the weight of fruit. The heat level of Jalapenos is around 6,000-8,000 Scoville Heat Units.
Recipe: Poppers - Slice fruits in half lengthwise, de-seed, fill halves with cream cheese, re-assemble chillies, dip in whisked egg, dip in breadcrumbs. Put in freezer for 2 hours, then deep fry and drain. Serve warm.
