When dried they are known as chipotle chillies. Jalapeño chillies are related to the paprika & are native to Mexico. They are one of the most popular chilli peppers in the world, loved for their supreme flavour and infused with a level of heat that is not too scorching. Heat 5.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
