    All flavor and no heat, a must-have pepper in my garden. Produces very well and does not need staking if kept picked. I have grown this pepper for many years and have not yet been disappointed.
    Side by side, it looks like Jalapeno (the hot type), so mark and store separately (experience speaking)

    These are NOT hot peppers!

    They are a Jalapeno with the heat bred out. These are as mild as Bell Peppers, but with a different (and in my opinion) much better flavor. Great for eating out of hand with sandwiches, added to salads, etc. I eat, and love, Jalapenos for their spice and flavor, but these peppers are great-eating as well, with no danger of heat for those that can't handle hot peppers.
