Quick pickled some jalapeños the other day, was just quarting them up and saw this. Anyone know wtf I’m looking at? Jalapeño for scale.

Bits of jalapeno seeds.

I think those are part of the seeds.

Anyone else’s first thought was that the dark jalapeño skin was a circle drawn around the area to check for?

Pepper worms. The pickling liquid won’t kill them. If you served these you need to get in touch with the health department immediately and start contact tracing before you have a mass casualty incident on your hands.

First thought…jalapeño, then I realized, oh the little weird things. Showed it to my also a chef husband and he said, “little jalapeño seed edges” which I agree with…

I think we can all unanimously agree that they are NOT part of the seeds and that they ARE or once was a LIVING CREATURE.

100% they are ass worms

They look like they could be vinegar worms. Aquarists breed them to feed fish fry

Bro those are 100% worms. Soaking in brine makes them try to escape their cozy pepper homes. I’m serious.

They’re pieces of seed. Had a freakout last year at a batch of peppers after I pickled em seeing this and tossed em. Then I looked through a freshly-cut batch ready to be pickled and saw where these pieces were coming from, fraying off the seed clusters in the center of the peppers from the cutting. Everyone telling you they’re worms is wrong. It’s seeds that tried to sprout.

I pickle peppers at home every summer. These are bits of the seeds. It scared the crap out of me the first time I saw them as well, since I didn’t see them until I’d eaten a good portion of the peppers.

Jalapeño membrane. There is a tiny string to each seed in the membrane.

A piece of jalapeñis.
It’s the part of the jalapeno seed called the [radicle](http://www.seedbiology.de/structure.asp#pepper1)

First off, it’s jalapeño juice and probably pieces of jalapeno seeds.
