Jalapeño peppers start with smooth, bright green skin that ripens to a vibrant red as they mature. As they reach full maturity, you'll notice characteristic cracks near the stem, known as "corking," which is prized in Mexico as it signifies an added flavor profile. The flesh is crisp and juicy, with a vegetal flavor and a spicy kick that intensifies as the pepper ripens.
