Die Jalapeño [xalaˈpeɲo], deutsch auch Jalapena, ist eine kleine bis mittelgroße, scharfe Paprika, die nach der mexikanischen Stadt Xalapa (früher Jalapa) benannt ist. Sie ist eine Zuchtform der Art Capsicum annuum aus der Gattung Paprika

 

The jalapeño (/ˌhæləˈpiːnoʊ/ or /ˌhæləˈpeɪnjoʊ/, Spanish pronunciation: [xalaˈpeɲo] ( listen)) is a medium-sized chili pepper pod type cultivar of the species Capsicum annuum.[2] A mature jalapeño fruit is 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and hangs down with a round, firm, smooth flesh of 1–1.5 in (25–38 mm) wide. It is of mild to medium pungency, 1,000 and 20,000 Scoville units in general. It is commonly picked and consumed while still green, but occasionally it is allowed to fully ripen and turn crimson red; and other cultivar variations of the same pod type exist. It is wider and milder than the Serrano pepper.[3] The Chile Pepper Institute is known for developing colored variations.
