Jalapeño TAM Seeds - Mild Heat, Bold Flavor!

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.

Why Choose Jalapeño TAM Seeds?

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.

Growing Your Jalapeño TAM Peppers

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.
