Jalapeno chili | crushed | 1-3 mm | green | Scoville Units: 15.000-40.000

Jalapeno Chilis have their origin in the south of Mexico and owe their name to the city of Jalapa in Veracruz. Jalapenos have become the most popular chilli variety in Europe thanks to their fruity spiciness and versatile uses. The productive plant forms up to 9 cm long, very juicy fruits with clearly rounded tips. The unripe fruits are mostly green and turn into a bright red when ripe. The spicy Jalapeno Chili is usually between 5,000 - 25,000 Scoville, depending on ripeness, cultivation and processing. Jalapenos are particularly popular in Tex-Mex cuisine and should not be missing in any dish. Jalapenos harmonize perfectly with cheese, in meat dishes such as chili con carne or goulash, in BBQ sauces or in homemade wraps.
