{"product_id":"chilli-jalapeno","title":"Chilli Pepper - JALAPENO - Capsicum annuum","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chilli (Capsicum sp.) \"Jalapeño\" is renowned for its signature kick of heat and versatility in culinary creations. Recognisable by its medium-sized, green to red fruit, the \"Jalapeño\" offers a heat level typically ranging between 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This popular pepper adds more than just a spicy flair; its lush green foliage and subtle white flowers in Djilba (early spring) make it a visual treat as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeally suited for planting in the ground, pots, or within a vege\/herb garden, the \"Jalapeño\" thrives in full sunlight and needs regular watering, especially during the heights of Bunuru (summer). When planting in sandy soils, enriching the ground with a quality soil conditioner will help ensure a bountiful harvest. To optimise fruit yield, feed the plant with a balanced fertiliser in Djilba (early spring). Typically, fruits are ready to harvest 70-85 days after planting. While not extremely hot, always exercise caution when handling and consuming to avoid unexpected surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli Pepper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eJalapeño\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFruiting and Edible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePBR Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eNorth, Central, South America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli plants generally grow 60 cm - 1 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli plants generally grow 60 cm - 1 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eWell-draining, good quality soil is important for good fruit-set.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eThough Chilli plants are tolerant of low water, they will fruit better with regular water in warm weather.

Capsaicin is toxic to most animals if ingested. Humans can tolerate capsaicin, however it can be toxic at high enough levels, so caution must be taken when ingesting chillis. Capsaicin is also harmful to sensitive areas of the skin in humans and animals.
