Dried Jalapearl pepper is a distinctive jalapeno variety, its name blending "jalapeno" and "pearl" for its rounded shape, unlike the classic elongated fruit.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, is compact and bushy, about 50-70 centimeters tall, highly productive and suited to container growing too.
sowing should be done between February and March in a seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts; fruits ripen in about 75-85 days from transplant.
growing requires full sun exposure and regular watering without waterlogging, with soil rich in organic matter and well-drained.
the fruits, small and round unlike the classic elongated jalapeno, are picked green or left to ripen to red, with fleshy walls.
waterlogging, which favors root rot, must be prevented, along with monitoring for aphids, especially under protected or container cultivation.
Jalapearl has a medium heat level, in line with the jalapeno family, around 4,000-8,000 SHU on the Scoville scale: excellent dried and ground into powder or used for sauces and pickling.
dried and rich in capsaicin, responsible for its moderate heat, Jalapearl also retains good amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants.
