Pepper, Nadapeno
Pepper, Nadapeno (Capsicum annuum ‘Nadapeno’)
Nadapeno is a jalapeño-style pepper bred for all the flavor and crunch of a classic jalapeño—without the heat. Crisp, thick-walled, and highly productive, it’s an ideal choice for fresh eating, pickling, and cooking where you want the full pepper experience without spice. This makes it especially useful for family-friendly gardens and high-yield kitchen production.
Key Characteristics
Jalapeño flavor without the heat
Nadapeno delivers the familiar bright, green, slightly grassy flavor of a jalapeño but with little to no capsaicin. This makes it perfect for fresh salsas, slicing, stuffing, and pickling, especially for those who want flavor without spice. It’s an excellent option for expanding pepper use in everyday meals.
Crisp, thick-walled fruits for versatile use
The fruits are firm and juicy with substantial walls, making them ideal for stuffing, grilling, and preserving. They hold their texture well in cooking and are especially suited to pickling, where their crunch and flavor shine.
High-yielding and dependable production
Nadapeno plants are vigorous and productive, setting fruit consistently throughout the growing season. Regular harvesting encourages continued production, making it a reliable performer in both home gardens and small-scale production systems.
Excellent for kitchen gardens and polycultures
With a manageable size and upright growth habit, Nadapeno integrates easily into raised beds, containers, and mixed plantings. It pairs well with herbs like basil and onions, and thrives in the same warm, sunny conditions as tomatoes and other summer crops.
