Wondering what is causing this on my jalapeños. Is it just damage the plant fixed? Are they over ripening? I cut the part off and they taste fine. Anything I can do to prevent this?

Blossom end rot is related to a calcium deficiency. In most cases though it’s due to inconsistent watering schedules that hinders the plants ability to uptake calcium. You shouldn’t eat these peppers.

Bottom rot is a sign of a calcium deficiency.

Either blossom end rot or rotting due to sunscald most likely, shade cloth and some extra calcium should take care of the problem depending which it is as long as it’s not pest related. If you believe you are already supplying the correct amount of calcium the soil pH could be too base and a pH adjustment would likely solve this.

Looks like sun scalding followed by rotting to me.
Once they’re sunscalded, they seem more susceptible to rot like that when they get left on the plant.
