Yellow Jalapeño (also called Jalapeño Amarillo) is naturally yellow variety, not just unripe or overripe jalapeño. It maintains same heat level (2,500-8,000 SHU) as green jalapeños but offers brighter, slightly fruitier flavor. The yellow color adds visual interest to salsas and dishes. These peppers are particularly popular in Central American cuisine. They pickle beautifully, maintaining their vibrant color. The flavor is similar to green jalapeños but with more pronounced fruity notes.
