description
The Jalapeño Brown pepper is a unique and productive variety of jalapeño, prized for its unusual color and rich flavor. The fruits are fleshy and ripen from green to dark chocolate brown, providing a distinctive appearance in the garden.
Less intense than some traditional jalapeños, it delivers a moderate heat with a slightly sweet and smoky flavor. Its thick, juicy flesh makes it particularly versatile in cooking.
