We grew the plant by accident, and while the usual harvest is just a handful at a time, they taste really fresh and great.
Edit: Thanks for the attention to this post. There’s a lot of insistence that these are jalapenos and not bell peppers. They are in fact bell peppers, for the following reasons:
- They’re sweet and not spicy.
- Jalapenos tend to have a more elongated shape.
- Green jalapenos tend to have a much brighter color.
I’m also in Southeast Asia so our pepper varieties are different.
Hope this helps!
It’s hard to get grocery store size bell peppers in a home garden. Plenty of people (me included) also like to grow small varieties of some veggies. If a plant can get me 4 huge tomatoes or 50 tiny ones, I’d rather have the tiny ones cause there ends up being less waste if a pest gets into one.
Yeah I’ve grown both bells and jalapeños and a variety of others and size is not what has me saying those are jalapeños, it’s their shape.
