Jalapeños take nearly 85 days to reach maturity from seed. When grown on an aeroponic tower, we can cultivate up to 16 jalapeño plants vertically. Once harvested, a great way to preserve your jalapeños is by pickling them in a brine solution, which can extend their shelf life by several months. To make pickled jalapeños, start by preparing your brine solution. Brine Preparation: • 1 liter of white vinegar • 1 liter of water • 5 tablespoons of salt • 8 tablespoons of sugar • 2.5 tablespoons of mustard seeds • 2 cloves of garlic • 3 bay leaves Instructions: • Pack the jar with sliced jalapeños. • In a saucepan, bring your brine to a boil. Stir to dissolve everything. • Pour the hot brine over the jalapeños until they’re fully submerged. • Let the jar cool to room temperature. • Seal and store in the fridge. They’ll be tasty after 24 hours, but the flavor deepens after 3 to 5 days. #jalapenos #farming #agriculture #gardening #pickling #aeroponics #soilless #hydroponics
