Jalapeño - Mega Jefe

Heat: Medium (6,000 SHU)

75 Days. A larger selection of El Jefe, Mega Jefe is a Capsicum annuum producing thick-walled pods around 15 cm long by 5 cm wide — one of the biggest jalapeño types available. Known for its heavy corking, the network of scar marks that signals bold flavour and good heat development. The generous size makes it perfect for jalapeño poppers, stuffing, and grilling, or allowing to ripen fully red for the richest flavour and homemade chipotles.

Plants grow 60–80 cm tall and perform well in pots or garden beds in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

Harvest: Pick green for poppers and stuffing, or ripen fully red for chipotles and smoking.
Flavour: Sweet, fruity, and earthy — excellent smoked and dried for chipotles.
