Craig’s Grande Jalapeño Pepper is a jumbo-sized standout prized for its rich flavor, impressive size, and dependable productivity. Averaging 4 inches long and noticeably thicker than standard jalapeños, these plump, uniform fruits are perfect for stuffing, grilling, slicing, or adding bold heat to salsas and sauces.

Short, stocky plants produce heavy yields of classic-shaped jalapeños with a satisfying kick ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 Scoville units—often hotter than typical varieties. With its robust flavor, uniform fruit set, and exceptional size, Craig’s Grande is a garden favorite for home cooks and pepper lovers who want a jalapeño with extra substance and heat.
