i love sweet red peppers. greens are too bitter though. jalapenos shouldnt be defired either. thats what makes them tolerable
Why would you make jalepeños even worse?
You’d find a lot of Scandinavians wanting this lmao
Sounds like a bell pepper with extra steps.
Different chili varieties definitely have their own flavors. Even blindfolded you’d probably be able to tell apart sauces made with poblanos vs banana peppers (both can have basically zero heat).
heat != flavor
i dont mind a little heat, but sometimes i actually want to taste the food.
Actually the hotter peppers tend to have much more flavour. Jalapenos are a more flavourful than similar weak peppers, making them popular. However if you’ve built just some tolerance for hotter peppers and you don’t really notice the heat, that’s where flavour town starts and there’s so much variety.
I make a lot of sauces and chutneys, and habanero is my favourite for its super strong flavour and versatility, despite not being too hot. But I also love some of the stronger peppers (like ghosts and reapers) for their heat. Like reaper has an acidic burn that goes amazing with vinegary sauces, but also has a fairly good flavour.
That’s why you use jalapeños since they aren’t spicy like habaneros or seranos
Unfortunately, I am. Too much capsaicin messes with digestion (slows it down), and causes more stomach acid.
So with my gastrointestinal system’s hatred of my body (including food allergies which wreak havoc on me), I am at the top tier of too damn white to get to enjoy the heat anymore. So, I guess thanks for a new pepper I can check out!
jalapeños are really good even without heat. It’s just a good pepper. I don’t see any issue.
White enough to post this though… 😎
I have a story about heat and flavor. Often the flavor and heat ARE intertwined, if you “cool” the pepper you mute the flavor.
So I make lentil salad sometimes, it’s one of those dishes so much better than it should be - cooked al dente lentils, jalapeno, onion, carrot in a dressing of olive oil, mustard, lemon. My little kids loved it but would whine that it was too spicy. So my older daughter graciously de-seeded and took out the ribs of the jalapenos when helping make it one time and
They whined because it didn’t taste as good. The flavor was contained in the spicier part of the pepper.
Not everything should be spicy but it’s good to have a tolerance because some flavors are in those spicy foods that simply aren’t in the mild versions.
Good for you. Weird flex honestly “my stomach works” Well for many of us ours don’t work. If I eat anything that is spicy hot my stomach will have me bent over cramping constantly until it leaves my system. Is your next post going to be about how stupid people are for having to use wheelchairs?
I never said other people shouldn’t eat it.
No just making fun of them.
I apologize for my bigoted post against the oppressed and long-suffering minority group of people who’s stomachs can’t handle the regular spicy kind of jalapeños. It was horribly insensitive of me and basically racism.
If I had some issue that prevented me from eating spicy food, I would get these (well, if I lived anywhere they’re sold). I love the flavor and fruitiness of jalapenos (I grow them along with seranos, habaneros, and others since trying to buy them fresh in Japan sucks outside of a handful of stores (only one of which I know sells them out of season for the mainland))
What’s the point of jalapeños if they’re not hot?
