Jalapearl powder is made by grinding this hybrid born from crossing Jalapeño and Black Pearl, combining striking colors with a bold character.
The source pepper, Capsicum annuum, grows on a tall, sturdy plant up to 120 centimeters, very leafy, with dark green oval leaves.
Seeds for fruit production are started between February and March, transplanting after the last frosts.
A prolific, well-branched plant, it adapts to both pot and open-field growing; it needs regular watering and a sunny position.
The fruits ripen from black to red, a very distinctive color contrast; they must be fully dried before grinding.
Waterlogging should be avoided as it favors root rot; a generally resistant plant.
Jalapearl powder has a low heat level, around 15,000 SHU: perfect for bold but not overpowering seasonings on meats, sauces and Mexican dishes.
Contains capsaicin in moderate amounts and anthocyanins responsible for the dark coloring of the fruits during ripening.
