Pretty sure they’re jalapeños

Nicely ripe, nicely corked… If those are not Jalapenos I wish they were all like that if they are as hot as you say they are haha!

Jalapeños are the biggest wildcard in peppers. Some aren’t hot at all and others like those will light you up

Nice corked jalapeños. Stoked for you. I’m on my 3rd year trying to find some hot seeds. I keep getting mild peppers. Sucks

Jalapeño’s that you left on the vine to ripen red and get stretch marks

Jalapeños are sometimes 100x hotter than jalapeños.

I have some jalapeño peppers that look just like this and they are definitely hotter than usual.

Those look pretty mean. Nice corking. Stubapeños 😂

Quetzlzacatenengo! Grown deep in the jungles primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum!

They get hotter when they ripen, so you should expect them to be hotter than your regular unripe green jalapeno.

Just stressed jalapenos.
Don’t look like anything special.

Seems like there have been a lot of extra-hot jalapeños this year. The first one of mine I tasted a few weeks ago was BY FAR the hottest jalapeño I have ever tasted. It was… almost like eating a habanero.

Save some seeds and try it again next year. If the results are similar then you may have a cool little crop on your hand

Your prob used to grocery store jalapenos which are as hot as bell peppers

I have some El Jefe Jalapeño plants and they are hot as hell for a Jalapeño.

I have some of those.

Those look like my zapotecs, they always cork like that and are at least 3 times hotter than plants you’ll buy at lowes or Walmart labeled jalapeno. Makes real good Chipotle seasoning

I grew an “early” strain of jalapeños that looked like that and seemed quite a bit hotter than normal. Some of lesser known annuum cultivars can pack some serious heat.

Non commercial ripe jalapeños are considerably hotter than grocery store variety

The corking, the corking! How beautiful the pepper corking!

That’s a real jalapeño. Store bought ones they have been breeding for size and to be more mild

It’s been a hot dry year

Those are ripe jalapeños with some fantastic quarking. The quarking is usually an easy way to discern which chilies in the grocery store are spicier than others.

Ive heard that those lines (corking?) are an indication of how spicy the pepper is. Ive been told that if you water the plant more sparsely they gain more line and are therefore spicier

Red and corked… makes the best jalapeño
