Fresh green jalapeno peppers in a convenient 5-pound bag, perfect for home cooks and food service. These medium-hot peppers measure between 4 to 10 cm in length with smooth, shiny skin and a blunt tip. On the Scoville scale, jalapenos range from 2,500 to 4,000 heat units, providing a flavorful kick without overwhelming spice.

Jalapenos are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Use them raw in pico de gallo, salsas, and guacamole, or cook them in stews, soups, chilis, and stir-fries. They're ideal for grilling, roasting, pickling, or making stuffed jalapeno poppers. The peppers add distinctive flavor to Tex-Mex favorites like nachos, fajitas, tacos, and pizzas.
