Golden Heat: Jalapeño Jaloro Seeds

Grow the first golden yellow jalapeño with Jalapeño Jaloro Seeds! Developed by the Texas Agriculture Extension Service in 1992, this vibrant heirloom variety is not just a feast for the eyes but also a powerhouse of disease resistance. With its striking yellow hue ("Oro" means gold in Spanish), the Jaloro stands out in both gardens and dishes.

Why Choose Jalapeño Jaloro Seeds?

These open-pollinated seeds grow into vigorous compact 24" plants, perfect for containers, yielding an abundance of 2" long, thick-walled peppers. Unlike traditional jalapeños, Jaloro peppers are milder (5,000 Scoville heat units) and transition from pale gold to orange and red when fully ripe. Their juicy flesh is ideal for poppers, salsas, or adding a colorful kick to meals.

Each packet contains 10 seeds.

Garden-Friendly & Resilient

Jaloro plants are TMV-resistant and thrive against six common pepper viruses, ensuring a bountiful harvest. For best results, start indoors 8 weeks before warm nights, using 85°F bottom heat. Germination takes 7–21 days.

Prolific Peppers!

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

Nice peppers but not what I ordered.

I see that another customer had the same experience; ordered Jalapeno M and got Jaloro. I wanted a 'peno with some decent heat but these are very mild. I was disappointed and was going to give them two stars but they're tasty and they'll be pretty in a mixed pepper and onion relish suitable for the faint of heart. I hope that I'll be in a position to grow next summer and that I actually get the right seeds. Cowboy Candy needs to have some good zing!

Jaloros, not Jalapeno M

We ordered and received a package that stated Jalapeno M, but what grew seem to be Jaloros, as they fit the jaloro description perfectly, so I'll put my review here. These are very mild and tasty with a beautiful green/yellow color. If jalapenos are typically too hot for you, use these for any and all dishes in which you want that delicious green pepper flavor. We will grow green jalapenos later, but for now, we are enjoying these jaloros. Btw, we have not-great growing conditions (only a couple hours of sun), and these still grew pretty well.

Productive with lots of golden pods!

These glow in the garden, and were the first hot peppers I got to pick these season. I have three plants and they are loaded with jalapenos - what a nice golden color they have. We're making poppers with them tonight. Yum! Will grow again, the seeds all sprouted easily with some bottom heat and the plants are one of the fastest growing peppers in our garden. Excited for this new variety to have in our salsa garden. :) Thanks for the great seeds!

Gold jalapenos!!

These really are golden in color, so unique with great flavor and just the right amount of heat. We made these into golden jalapeno poppers, a big hit at our bbq.

Excited to try these!

Thanks for the fast shipping! I already have a few seeds sprouting. I'll post a followup review after I grow these this summer, but I'm very excited to grow a new jalapeno - the glowing yellow color on these look amazing. I'm also excited for some more jalapeno heat, perfect for salsas and poppers.
