Coolapeño

Coolapeño is a modern heatless jalapeño-type Capsicum annuum sold commercially as a hybrid, and it was already in public circulation by April 2016. It is defined by the jalapeño look and flavour profile without the normal pungency, and retail descriptions consistently present it as a pepper for people who want jalapeño character without capsaicin heat.

The plant is typically described as medium-sized, reaching about 91.5 to 107.0 cm tall, with a productive habit suited to garden beds, raised beds, and large containers. Fruits are usually about 9 to 10 cm long, jalapeño-shaped, smooth-skinned, and meaty, starting green and ripening to red, with the red stage described as sweeter.

Its main use is culinary rather than ornamental. Listings repeatedly place it in salsa, sauces, relishes, poppers, roasting, and other jalapeño-style applications where the goal is full pepper flavour without burn. That identity, a thick, usable jalapeño-style fruit with no heat and a green-to-red ripening pattern, is the core of how Coolapeño is presented across grower and retail references.
