Description
Plump, productive, early, and spicy Jalapeño. Fun, slightly rounded shaped, 3 – 3 1/2″ long fruit are perfect for stuffing and roasting. Plants produce a concentrated set of thick-walled fruit and most fruit turn red before frost. We love the green fruit for salsa, escabeche, and especially for oven roasted Jalapeño poppers. The fully ripe, red fruit makes a great sriracha or fermented hot sauce. Party Popper Jalapeño was selected by us here at Adaptive Seeds over 6 years for excellent yield and adaptability in Pacific Northwest climate conditions. In the spirit of the Culinary Breeding Network, we collaborated with our friends at Party Downtown Restaurant in Eugene, Oregon to develop this pepper. Party Downtown has used them in hot sauces and as an ingredient in their excellent spicy chicken wings. Party Popper Jalapeño is a de-hybridized selection of a once popular, but no longer commercially available, F1 hybrid. Like its parent, it has a nice smooth green skin that is slow to check and resists anthocyanin purple blushing.
