The Jalapeño chili is named after the city of Xalapa in Mexico, where the pepper was traditionally cultivated. But Mexicans also know it by the names chile gordo, meaning ‘fat chili pepper.' Jalapeños are grown extensively across Mexico and the thick-walled fruits are known worldwide. Although they are usually eaten at the green stage, either fresh or pickled, the fruits ripen to red and are amazingly sweet when allowed to do so (Scoville units: 2.500-8.000).

Piccolo was born in 2012 with the intention of offering select seeds for urban gardens, plants specially designed for pot growing: compact, dwarf varieties, and suitable for terrace garden spaces. Their carefully selected seeds are packed with sustainable and completely recyclable materials.
