About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The Mexican salsa classic, hotter than the ‚Jalapeño’ and with a thinner skin that can be processed directly without peeling. You harvest the slim pods mostly green, but they also ripen cleanly through to red. A vigorous, high-yielding variety for the greenhouse and a warm outdoor spot.
Fresh and grassy with a precise heat that is felt at once. Chopped raw it is the heart of any pico de gallo or green salsa.
