Care and Harvest

Gardyn peppers are prolific producers, even if they show signs of Edema, a harmless disorder. Aphids are a common pest, but you can use our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay!

Harvest jalapeños when they’re firm and about 3 inches long. Leave peppers on the plant longer to ripen and change color. Cut each pepper from the plant to harvest.

Taste and Use

Chiles are used to add heat to any dish. Remove the seeds and inner membranes to reduce the heat level. Hot peppers are often dried and ground into chile flakes. Jalapeños can also add spice to a variety of dishes, including salsa, tacos, salads, sandwiches, chili, curry, and much more.

Origin

This type of chile pepper originated in Mexico. The Spanish were the first Europeans to discover it in the New World, but the Portuguese did the most to bring it along their trade routes worldwide. Fun fact: Jalapeños were the first pepper to travel into space in 1982 on the Space Shuttle Columbia.
