Fresno chile pepper is a popular jalapeño-type variety that produces medium-sized, conical fruits typically 3–4 inches long with smooth, thick walls that ripen from bright green to vibrant red. It has a crisp texture and a clean, bright heat (around 2,500–10,000 Scoville units) with a slightly sweeter and fruitier flavor than a standard jalapeño. These peppers are excellent for fresh salsas, pico de gallo, pickling, stuffing as poppers, or adding to nachos, tacos, and stir-fries. This variety is a good choice for Utah because it is productive, relatively early-maturing, and performs reliably in our hot, dry summers when given full sun and consistent moisture. It's great for containers. Show more
