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 grown Burpee "Jalape o M" for the past two years and the peppers had plenty of kick. What brand & variety did you grow? I've been growing jalapenos from the same packet of Burpee seeds for five seasons now, those suckers are too hot, stick a fork in em and they'll melt the tines. Hot, and big too:http://i7.tinypic.com/66kzvko.jpg Too hot for me, I trade away most with my neighbor for his garlic and Yukon golds. It's weird - before I grew jalape os, I'd only tasted them out of jars, or at restaurants, maybe in salsa or cooked into other stuff. They never impressed me as hot at all. At home, when I want heat in the recipe, I use the cayenn peppers from the garden, fresh or dried. When I grew jalape os, I figured I'd be getting peppers I could stuff, cook briefly, and woof 'em down like potato chips. Ha. Not. Guess what, they're four times as hot when dried and crushed. The usual pizza parlor pepper sprinkle I can literally cover the slice and not feel it's too hot, but not with the ones I grew myself, they are too wicked to eat. |
