I put in a grocery order today for jalapeños as I wanted to make a taco soup that I have made many times before. I got a package of 5 “jalapeños” and cut up 3 for the soup.
I washed up and cleaned up and noticed shortly after that my fingertips were burning- almost felt like I had (heat)burnt my hand, but I didn’t. I washed my hands about 80 times and the sensation didn’t subside for about 5 hours. Even still about 8 hours later if I wash my hands they “heat up” in the same places.
What the eff are they?

Probably Serrano pepper
Actually spicy jalapeños.
Is a jalapeno. This summer heat was great for growing. Had some super spicy jalapenos recently
Looks like a good jalapeño, could be a deformed Serrano.
They’re jalopenos. People underestimate them because the range in heat is crazy but when you get a hot batch they can easily be as hot as Serranos.
I got a lot of very spicy jalapeños this year.
Thanks all!
Unequivocally jalapeños.
It’s a jalapeño.
Serrano
Usually Serranos are a little thinner than jalapeños but also, I’ve had some jalapeños that could give a Serrano a run for its money.
Jalapeños vary greatly, good genetics can pack a serious wallop.
to get rid of the burn wash your hands in vinegar
