Discover the perfect balance of flavor and mild heat with our Jalapeño TAM Seeds. Developed by Texas A&M, this early variety offers all the classic jalapeño taste with significantly less spice, making it ideal for those who love the flavor but prefer a gentler kick. With a Scoville rating of just 1,000 to 1,500 (compared to up to 5,000 for traditional jalapeños), these peppers are a game-changer for mild heat lovers.
Milder & More Manageable: Enjoy the authentic jalapeño flavor without the intense heat. For an even milder taste, simply remove the thin membrane inside the pepper where the capsaicin glands are concentrated.
Highly Productive & Disease-Resistant: This open-pollinated heirloom variety thrives in gardens, yielding abundant 3" long peppers perfect for stuffing, grilling, or grinding into chili powder.
Versatile in the Kitchen: Whether you're making stuffed jalapeños, salsas, or homemade chili powder, these peppers deliver consistent flavor with just the right amount of heat.
Start your Jalapeño TAM Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant in sterile media, cover lightly, and keep warm (85°F) and moist. Germination takes 7–21 days. Transplant seedlings once they develop 6 true leaves, spacing them 30" apart in rich soil or large 5-gallon containers. Harvest green for a crisp bite or wait for red maturity for sweeter notes.

Great jalapenos for everyone in my family (not everyone appreciates hot heat). These are great for milder salsas and still provide plenty of flavor and just a little bit of spice. Also great for jalapeno poppers. Thanks for the fast-germinating seeds!
Planted for 6 plants. All produced well! Very nice mild heat and great flavor….. my spaghetti sauce has been requested with the Tam J’s in the mix ! Adds a flavor that is yummy !
Perfect for poppers for the family.
Loved these plants, very productive and nice sized jalapenos - perfect for stuffing or for salsa.
My Mom likes a little spice, but a lot of jalapeños are too hot for her, so I like to grow these to make jalapeño poppers or salsa with a little less heat. Great flavor!

I grow your basil seeds every year, they are easy to start from seed and grow into nice bushy plants that we harvest all summer long to use to make caprese salads (when the tomatoes start to ripen), as well as pesto. I like to make a big batch of pesto, then freeze "pucks" of it in a muffin tray to store in a container in the freezer for some summer flavors all winter long. These seeds always have great germination. I also like to let a couple of basil plants bloom as the pollinators love the blooms and they are pretty, too!
Bought the Green Chile Intro - 3-Pack and was able to start indoors the Big Jim Legacy and Sandia Select with a 100% germination rate thanks to the clear instructions provided. As of Mid July in NC zone 7A on the 8 chile plants(6 Big Jim, 2 Sandia) in the garden I have 5-7 large chiles per plant. The smallest chiles are over 7” and I’m already getting another flush of flowers for round 2 of delicious peppers. Highly recommend these chiles!!!
My sister loves gardening, and is quite a seed collector and grower. She'll love all these classic varieties to add to her garden and seed box. Zucchini are an old stand-by, as well as pumpkins, beans, radishes and more. She's never grown spaghetti squash, so that will be a fun addition.
Perfect looking tomatoes in a golden color with hints of red, they are gorgeous. These Rainbow Tomatoes were definitely the most productive tomatoes of the season last year, so our countertop bowl was filled with their golden deliciousness.
Make sure to use a sturdy tomato cage (not those wirey floppy ones that they most commonly sell!) - we ended up using some wood stakes to create a frame around the plants as they were so huge and loaded with fruit later in the season.
We just planted our seedlings for these this year, looking forward to watching them grow!
Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.
One of the best cherry tomatoes you'll ever eat!
I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.
These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
