THE HOT PEPPER REPORT PART 1 - Jalapeños
About the Jalapeño Report
The pepper chart on the next page describes 10 popular Jalapeños varieBes. Although there are many others, the ones listed in the chart were selected for their flavor, resistance to viruses, range of heat levels and ability to grow in containers.
The “Variety” column in the chart contains the Jalapeño pepper variety name and descripBon, while the “Hotness” column describes the kind of heat it has. The “SHU” listed a]er the numbers in some of the entries stand for “Scoville Heat Unit,” which is the scale that measures the spicy heat of a chile pepper. When hotness is described with a term, such as “milder,” this is in comparison to the average heat of a Jalapeño pepper.
