Question: What is the official pepper of Texas?
Answer: Texas has two official peppers: the jalapeño, designated as the state pepper in 1995, and the chiltepín, named the state native pepper in 1997. On the Scoville Heat Units scale, jalapeños range from 2,500 to 8,000, making them much milder than chiltepíns, which range from 40,000 to 100,000.
