About this pepper

Jalapeño Dieguito is a Capsicum annuum cultivar developed in Italy from a cross between Farmer's Market Jalapeño and Cherry Bomb. It was selected for its unusual fruit shape and strong productivity.

Plants are robust and can grow up to around 1.2 metres tall. Pods are distinctive and heart-shaped, maturing from green to red and often showing corking on the skin. Fruits are thick-walled and juicy.

The flavour is sweet with mild to medium heat, averaging around 10,000 Scoville Heat Units. Jalapeño Dieguito is well suited to roasting, stuffing, salsas, and pickling and is valued for both yield and culinary versatility.
