Nadapeño (Heatless Jalapeño)

This pepper has been bred to have all the flavor of a jalapeno with none of the heat. Perfect for the person in your life who enjoys the flavor of peppers but doesn’t enjoy the mouth burning sensation. Can be used for seasoning dishes, pickling, or fresh eating. This variety matures early and produces heavily.

Planting/Harvesting Notes

  • Plant in full sun and well draining soil
  • Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart
  • Matures in 55 (green)-90 days (ripe)

Seed Saving

To save seed, allow the pepper to turn red on the plant, then harvest, cut the pepper, scrape out the seeds and dry on a flat surface such as a screen, paper plate or baking sheet. Allow to dry for 1-2 weeks and then store in a paper envelope.
