Details
This is a strangely named variety, as there is very little heat, and the pods don't really resemble a Jalapeno. It was developed by growers in Italy and is a very sweet flavor. Pods can get quite long, and yields are very good. It has very thick flesh and produces well so the plants will need to be staked to support the weight of all the fruits. The Jalapeno Chernobyl chiles are great for roasting, stuffing, sauces, salsa, salads, and pickling. Non-Isolated.
