Pepper Seeds - Hot Pepper - Black Hungarian Jalapeño
Description
Dark, dramatic, and delicious. Black Hungarian Jalapeño is an heirloom Capsicum annuum that turns heads with glossy purple-black pods and violet-tinged foliage, then wins hearts with classic jalapeño bite. Heat lands in the mild to medium range, giving you everyday versatility with a striking ornamental look.
Plants are vigorous and tidy, about 2 to 3 feet tall with upright branching that loads stems with blossoms and fruit. Lavender-white flowers and dusky green leaves set the stage for conical pods that average 3 to 4 inches long. Fruit matures from deep black to crimson red, and medium-thick walls hold up beautifully for stuffing, grilling, and pickling.
On the palate, Black Hungarian brings fresh green jalapeño character when picked dark and unripe, then develops a touch of berry-like sweetness as it ripens red. Expect roughly 5,000 to 10,000 Scoville Heat Units. Use black-stage pods for vivid salsas, poppers, and quick sautés, or let them redden for sweeter sauces, ristras, and a balanced chili powder. The color show also makes spectacular jars of pickled rings.
An old-world selection with roots in Hungary, this pepper reflects generations of European kitchen gardens that valued beauty and utility in the same plant. Grow it and you get both: a compact ornamental that earns its keep at the table, with reliable yields and the true jalapeño flavor home cooks reach for all season.
