About This Pepper
Purple Jalapeño is striking variety that starts deep purple and ripens through brown to red. It offers same heat level as standard jalapeño (2,500-8,000 SHU) but adds dramatic visual appeal. The purple color comes from anthocyanins, same beneficial compounds in blueberries. As they mature, they develop slightly sweeter flavor than green jalapeños. Excellent ornamental pepper that’s also fully edible and delicious. The purple foliage adds to decorative value. Perfect for gardeners who want both beauty and heat.
