Nadapeño is a truly heatless jalapeño-style pepper, giving you all the classic green aroma, crisp crunch, and jalapeño flavor without any burn. Sturdy, well-branched plants about 2 to 3 feet tall set heavy yields of smooth, blunt-tipped pods, typically 3 to 4 inches long, that start green and ripen to bright red. Harvest begins around 55 days from transplant for green fruit, with full red maturity often 75 to 80 days for maximum sweetness. Perfect for poppers, pickling, salsa, and stuffing, it is the family-friendly jalapeño you can slice and chop with no gloves needed.
