Overview
Tam Jalapeno (TAM Mild Jalapeno) came out of the Texas A&M breeding program to keep the size, shape and thick walls of a jalapeno while cutting the heat to roughly a tenth of the usual, about 500 to 2,500 Scoville units. Fruit is usable from glossy dark green through red. The compact, productive plants handle Southern heat well, though stress can push individual pods a little hotter. Set plants out in rich, well-drained ground and full sun once frost is past. A good choice for families and for anyone who wants jalapeno flavor and crunch in salsa, poppers and pickles without much bite.
