The Dieghito Jalapeño Pepper stands out among pepper varieties with its exceptional characteristics. Unlike standard jalapeños, this variety boasts thick, juicy walls that contribute to its robust texture and visual appeal. Its pods exhibit charming heart-shaped or rounded forms and are often adorned with extensive corking. The Dieghito transitions from vibrant green to a deeper, fruitier red as it ripens, presenting an enticing array of flavors for culinary enthusiasts.
