Jalapeño Pepper
Jalapeño pepper is a type of spicy chili native to Mexico, specifically the Jalapa region in Veracruz, from which it gets its name. It is one of the most popular and widely used chilies in Mexican cuisine and many other cuisines around the world. It has a conical shape and typically measures around 5-9 centimeters in length. When ripe, it changes from dark green to red, but it is usually harvested and consumed while still green. It has a characteristic flavor that combines sweetness and heat. Its spiciness level can vary widely but generally falls within the range of 2,500 to 8,000 SHU on the Scoville Heat Units (SHU) scale, making it moderately spicy.
