Overview
Mucho Nacho is Burpee's F1 jumbo jalapeno, and the name says what it is for. Pods reach about 4 inches, noticeably larger than a standard jalapeno, with thick walls and slightly more heat than usual, ripening green to red at around 72 days. The vigorous plants yield heavily and carry resistance to tobacco etch virus and to potato virus Y, which makes them dependable in the humid South. The size and wall thickness make these the easiest jalapenos to stuff for poppers or to grill whole without collapsing. Pick green for classic use, or wait for red fruit, which is a little sweeter.
