 | Featuring Jalapeņo Peppers!! |
The Jalapeņo measures between 2,500 and 5,000 Scoville Units, placing at 5, on the heat scale. It is by far the most famous and recognizable of all chiles. The moderate heat makes the Jalapeņo perfect for pickling, salsas, and of course, nachos. They are certainly essential in Tex Mex cuisine and pepper eating contests.
