About Green jalapeno peppers

Green jalapeño peppers are the unripe green fruits of the jalapeño chili type. They are smooth, firm and usually tapered, with a crisp flesh and a fresh, vegetal flavour alongside noticeable chili heat; heat varies among individual peppers.

They are used fresh, cooked, pickled or canned, whole or sliced, and may be stuffed or chopped into other preparations. Fresh green peppers differ in texture and flavour from ripe red jalapeños and from pickled or canned products.
