What has happened to jalapeno peppers?
The ones in the supermarket more often than not taste like bell peppers.
I have noticed this over the past few years and it seems to be getting
worse with time. We used to get a dudd now and then but now we rarely
find a hot one.
The solution of course, is to grow them ourselves. Well guess what?
The ones from the garden shops have the same problem so we started
growing our own from seed. Well, guess what again?
This year's jalapenos grown from seeds advertised as hot are perfectly
sweet. We sampled three different plants from different areas of the
garden and they are all the same.
Any thoughts?

I've said over the past few years that the jalapeņos taste like
concentrated Bell peppers.
My friend agrees
I like them for substituting green peppers for taste, a little goes a
long way in cooking but
it's missing something. The jalapeņo taste.
I believe it is a conspiracy.
