Why some jalapeños are spicy and some are not? I do??? What's the deal? Is there a secret? I'm so frustrated with my food being bland vs so spicy it feels like a check my mouth wrote that my ass can't cash.
Any wisdom is greatly appreciated.

I always thought the seeds gave them their kick, so less seeds, less kick? Idk.

Always wondered that too...fresh Jalapeno's vs pickled types, vs different pickled types where I see the most variance. IMO, there is no logical answer and if you are a foodie or cook, you know that's true. Sometimes Herdez Jalapeno's are totally flat, other times, watch out. Love the carrots too!
None of it matters though - these days I go straight to Sriracha, I think it's made with Thai chili's, which makes sense considering I can eat a ton of Kung Pao without the day fater issues. Mmmm, rooster sauce, makes anything taste like a spicy sushi roll!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I consider myself a bit of an expert bc I eat a lot of chiles. However I have the same problem you guys state. I buy serranos to eat, they are all the same hot. Jalapeños are still the best base for salsa etc, but bc they are unpredictable we keep serranos or habaneros and add to mixture if it's not hot enough with jalapeños. Originally Posted by Eli

Then I'm the only one that eats it, and that's fine by me. 😉 Originally Posted by Eli

Love the stuff, I thought it was funny as hell when the Irwindale plant problems created a slight hysteria. I'll admit, I stocked up on it! Originally Posted by riverrunner1984
