Small peppers
by SHARI
The flavor of these jalapeno style peppers is average with thick walls, but their size is unusually small.
Good Hot Pepper
by Erika
Had a high yield, and are hotter than your average jalapeno. Just to clarify (from a previous review), the description says they only get to be 3 inches big. These are meant to be small, but potent.

Great production per plant
by Greg
Our Jalapeños were majority average size from small to medium; with few that are large. But the production of the number of peppers per plant outweighs the size; you'll get plenty of peppers per plant. Great pepper for salsa, stuffed jalapeños for snacks or freezing for future dishes such as enchiladas and cornbread. Very easy to grow and spicy flavor.
A beautiful little Jalapeno
by Peter
Small but beautiful Jalapeno, with virtually no cracking when fully ripe. Great for Jalapeno poppers because the heat level is good but not excessive. Plants quite productive and peppers ripen fully well before frost in Iowa.
