Dried Jalahot pepper is a particularly spicy jalapeno selection, developed for those who want the typical jalapeno flavor with a bolder heat.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, is bushy and sturdy, about 60-90 centimeters tall, highly productive even in pots.
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 elongated, thick-walled fruits are usually picked green, though they can ripen to red, keeping a hotter kick than the standard jalapeno.
waterlogging, which favors root rot, must be prevented, along with monitoring for aphids, especially under protected or container cultivation.
Jalahot has a medium-high heat level, higher than the standard jalapeno and close to 8,000-10,000 SHU on the Scoville scale: excellent dried and smoked or ground into powder for bold sauces.
dried and rich in capsaicin, responsible for its intense heat, it also retains good amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants.
