Jalapeno is the world’s most recognised chilli pepper. Thick-walled, moderately hot, and essential for salsas, nachos, stuffed peppers and anything that needs a clean, reliable heat without burning the mouth off you.

Grows well in an Irish polytunnel or on a bright windowsill. Plants are compact and productive. Pick green for a fresh, grassy heat or leave to ripen red for a sweeter, deeper flavour. Smoke and dry them and you have chipotle.
