I also like em sweet, but I chew on habaneros. Funny thing, I get the
taste of the pepper, before the sting.
Most from the store tend to be sour, and not really good. The good
ones you can taste and smell right away.
I got some ghost seeds growing downstairs.

"THEY" may need to start a new labeling scheme on jalapenos some fool
decided they need the heat bred out of them and the big ones I'm getting
lately are just as sweet as bells if you avoid the seeds and ribs as you
would with bells.

I agree to the point the majority of capiscum is in ribs and seeds but
sure seems they are sweeter than used to be. Mebbe my knife skills have
improved but I can't recall ever casually cleaning a jalapeno to the
point it tastes like a bell will experiment tomorrow with a serrano
If i understand correctly Tx A&M started this research to to produce
a jalapeno with a standrad heat level instead of peppers that were up
amd down the scale and thus produced the TAM jalapeno
some guy in New Mexico got carried away?

Most I get from the store are mild or nothing, and I eat seeds.

If you enjoy hot peppers, like me, but don't want to
burn up your mouth and insides, this site might be
of interest to you.

It lists numerous peppers along with the Scoville Heat
scale.
