Asian store jalapeños are where it’s at. Also for their chili flakes too.

I know it’s probably anecdotal and I’ve seen articles that also say otherwise to my experience, but if I want jalapeños with some heat I pick the ones with the brown lines. It’s never steered me wrong. They’ve always been hotter.

Man the jalapeño I buy from the Mexican supermarket near me are hot as hell. Like hotter than the ghost pepper sauces I like. Not every time of course but more often than not they make me cry with my tacos

Always pick the ones with the little white stripes on them

This tracks. I always jalapeños in a lot of dishes and I’ve thought for the last couple of years they were getting milder.

It’s a real shame producers are moving to oleoresin for predictable heat control. That stuff upsets my stomach more than any habanero, and in MUCH smaller quantities too.

I remember buying some jalapenos from a farmer’s market a few years back that were considerably hotter than any jalapeno I’ve had before.
