The Nadapeño is everything people love about a jalapeño—bold flavor, crunch, aroma—but without the heat. This heatless jalapeño variety delivers that classic green “jalapeño taste” with a mild, sweet, vegetable-forward profile that makes it perfect for anyone who wants the flavor without the fire.

Plants are compact, productive, and loaded with smooth, glossy peppers that mature from green to deep red. Slice them for nachos, pickle them whole, stuff them, grill them, or eat them fresh right off the plant. It's all jalapeño goodness, zero burn.
