ABSTRACT:
New, distinct and stable cultivars of no-heat Jalapeno peppers are disclosed. No-heat Jalapeno pepper cultivars are disclosed in which substantially all the pepper fruit produced comprise no capsaicin such as, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, norhydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin and homodihydrocapsaicin. The no-heat characteristic has been bred into 3 different cultivars of Jalapeno. This no-heat characteristic has been combined with many desirable Jalapeno traits including a lack of pungency, a dark green immature color, a saucer shaped calyx, a pendent fruit position, a rounded base shape, a blunt apex shape, a thick flesh thickness, an oblong shape, a concentrated fruit set, a long pedicel length, a straight pedicel shape, a slender pedicel thickness and a low capsaicinoid content. Methods for the reliable breeding to the no-heat Jalapeno characteristic into diverse Jalapeno peppers, as well as methods for production of food products comprising no-heat Jalapenos are disclosed.
