Hal E. Peño
Mild Jalapeño
Hola, amigos! I am Hal E. Peño, a jalapeño pepper that can add some heat to your tacos, salsa and nachos (among other foods)!
I spice up the Growums Taco Garden with a tasteful zing and can turn any boring meal into a zesty fiesta! If you want to heat things up, plant a pot of peppy jalapeño peppers! (Say that three times fast!)
FAVORITE PARTY TRICK: I start off as a green pepper but will turn a festive red if you keep me on the plant longer. ¡Olé!
FAVORITE MUSIC: Salsa
FAVORITE HOBBY: Exploring outer space. The jalapeño was the first pepper to go up in the Space Shuttle in 1982!
SECRET HEAT SOURCE: Capsaicin. That’s the special oil in peppers that makes me taste spicy!
