Jalapeño peppers go from a beautiful deep green to a vibrant red as they mature, getting hotter the longer they stay on the plant. They are perfect for roasting, stuffing, topping egg dishes and nachos, and, of course, making jalapeño poppers. You can even smoke the mature red peppers over mesquite chips to make your own chipotle sauce.

Named for the town of Jalapa, Mexico, the jalapeño pepper is the most popular chile pepper in the United States. Widely adapted, jalapeño plants yield a bountiful harvest in dry, humid, hot, or cool climates. They produce thick-walled, moderately hot pods, ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 on the Scoville scale.
