Description
The NuMex Primavera is a mild jalapeño-type pepper developed at New Mexico State University bred specifically to produce smooth-skinned pods without the surface corking common in traditional jalapeños providing a cleaner commercial appearance at only 1,000-1,500 SHU. Its mild grassy vegetal flavor and attractive smooth skin make it commercially appealing for fresh market sales where appearance matters and consumers prefer jalapeño shape without intense heat. Ideal for stuffing slicing fresh and mild salsas it bridges the gap between sweet peppers and hot jalapeños.
