Last year I tried making a Sriracha recipe, but had to use green jalapeños because I couldn't find red ones. I hear that a red jalapeño is simply a green one that was allowed to ripen, so I can see why farmers might not have the time to produce red ones.
I'm now patiently growing some jalapeños in my backyard. Meanwhile, anyone know a source for red jalapeños?
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoDepending on your zone, they may not live long enough to turn red. I'm in MN and when growing serranos, I had to bring them inside before I got any red ones. Happily, though, they continued to fruit indoors throughout the winter.
- sowbug 2y agoI hadn't thought of that. Fortunately, they're growing in a fabric pot, so I can take them in when the weather turns.
