Jalapeño peppers

Also called: Basbaas jalapeño (Soomaali) · Piments jalapeños (Français) · فلفل هالابينو (العربية)

What to look for

Pick firm, glossy, dark green jalapeños with no soft spots. Fine tan lines on the skin usually mean an older, hotter pepper; for less heat, remove the seeds and white ribs.
