The jalape\u00f1o, perhaps the most commonly known pepper in America, provides a good balance between taste and spice. However, make no mistake, keep a drink handy when consuming these jalape\u00f1os as these peppers can offer a spicy surprise. Which is why we rank our jalape\u00f1os in the middleweight class. Like any of our other peppers cutting out the core (seeds and veins) will make the pepper milder. Natural jalape\u00f1os come in varies sizes and colors unlike the jalape\u00f1os sold in the big box stores. The color will depend on how mature the pepper is when picked from the jalape\u00f1o plant. Most common color is green because most jalape\u00f1os are picked before reaching full maturity; however, if the pepper can reach full maturity the color will be red or brownish red but in some circumstances the pepper may be purple. The state of Texas declared the jalape\u00f1o as the state pepper in 1995 (see 74R H.C.R. 105).<\/p>\n
