    Called Farmer's Jalapeno or Farmer's Market Jalapeno, this pepper is deeply flavorful, but not really hot. The size of the fruit is highly variable and the progression from green to red seems quite protracted. Because of the unusual netting that covers them to a greater or lesser extent, it is sometimes referred to as the Potato Pepper. Enjoyable raw in a salad or with veggie dip. I have not tried it cooked yet.
