Where can I purchase Jalapenos?

clearodara

Does anyone know of any supermarkets that stock jalapenos? I normally shop in Lidl but they dont stock them afaik.

Do you mean sliced in a jar? Tesco have them, both Old El Paso and their own brand. Own brand are better IMO. Had a few on my burritos last night.

Either sliced or loose. Thanks for the info. Do you know what aisle they are in ? Cheers

most big supermarkets will have them in the same area they have the wraps, salsas and fajita dinner kits etc.

I'd love to find fresh ones. I've such a craving for jalapeno poppers lately.

Lidl were doing a mixed chili pepper pack a few weeks back that had scotch bonnet, Thail Chilli and 2 jalapenos in it, amongst others. Maybe they'll come back but they weren't there last time I was in.

Dunnes, Tesco, any supermarket really Aldi have a mixed chillie pack for like 70 or so. Just make sure there's one or two in the pack as contents vary.

Mr. Muddle

Aldi do fresh mixed peppers too, in with fruit and veg usually near the garlic and ginger

I think this is on permanent rotation. I get 1/2 packs a week, for as long as I can remember. only been sold out 2/3 times in my memory.

Pack is random contents, but usually its a mixture of these chillis:
Scotch Bonnet, Habanero, Rawit, Jalapeno, Santa Fe, Thai Chilli and a Dutch Chilli.
So its pot luck if you will get 2/3 jalapenos. I usually go for the pack with the least jalapenos and most scotch bonnets ;-)


aldis pack is pretty much the same.

Most of the bigger supermarkets stock sliced Jalapenos, in the Mexican food section. LIDL has jalapeno poppers in the frozen section.
