The Jalapeno pepper comes from the Capsicum plant and is a medium-sized pepper (2-5cm) compared to other chili peppers. While its origin is from Mexico, it is now grown worldwide, with China being one of the largest producing countries. It is widely popular for its flavor and mild heat level, which averages around 5,000 Scoville heat units, making it accessible to almost all consumers.

The green (unripe) form is the most common compared to the red, which tends to have a sweeter taste. Heat level and flavor profile: Jalapeno peppers range between 2,500 and 8,000 SHU (Scoville heat units), which can make them particularly spicy but relatively mild compared to other chili peppers like Habanero. Flavors are similar to Serrano pepper with milder heat. It leaves a sweet and "green" aftertaste and releases an earthy and smoky aroma when cooked.
