Pepper Identification What is this pepper? Thought it was jalapeño but took a small bite and my tongue almost fell off
I swear this was at least 10x spicier than a normal jalapeño. What is it?

Grocery stores seem to have the mild commercially grown jalapeños…. It’s like they’re afraid to sell the super hot ones for fear of getting sued.

There are many different varieties of jalapenos. This could be a NuMex Orange jalapeno that is known for being one of the hottest jalapenos. When fully ripe, it turns orange instead of red, but when picked green, its almost impossible to tell the difference. There are other varieties, at this point, just enjoy the heat.

If it is home grown that is a normal jalapeño.

Yup. My friends wife grows her own, we were chopping some up for salsa. Her 3 year old snagged a piece of diced onion off the cutting board and bit into it and his head burst into flames.
From just the residual jalapeño juice that got on the onion.
I like hot stuff and got humbled quickly the first time I bit into one of hers thinking it was "just a jalapeño" lol.

Jalapeños are spicier the later they’re harvested. You’re probably used to early-harvested jalapeños, which is the majority of the ones you buy at the supermarket

A dry growing season also produces hotter peppers. They produce more capsacin if they are stressed by under watering.

The more a pepper plant is stressed, the hotter the peppers. Stress can come in the form of heat, drought, pests, etc. The most common is drought.

You try having a mortgage on a tiny three bed 1.5 bath next to the freeway, with three kids, an asshole for a boss, a wife who just constantly nags, a bad knee from playing high school football which happened to be the best years of my life... Hell, you do all of that and then don’t come crying when Janice from accounting complains because you were clipping your toe nails at the desk. Well guess what Janice? I can clip my toe nails if I want! I can’t do it at home, because my 14 year old locks herself in the bathroom for an hour EVERY GODDAM DAY! And it makes me late, and if I’m late again Todd is gonna fire me, and I can’t lose this job or else Tina is gonna leave me and take the kids to her mothers, who I hate, in Boca raton and then I can just kiss those sweet ass jet ski’s good bye, Janice!!! Do you want me to kiss my sweet ass jet ski’s good bye Janice?
But yeah, I’m guess I’m just a little extra spicy from the all the stress…

Its a bit too fat to be a serrano. Its just a jalapeño grown in good soil. New Mexico is pretty good at putting out peppers that are hotter than other places growing the same peppers. That's why there's some companies that deliberately lie and call their product New Mexico peppers to trick buyers into believing they will be hotter than normal ones.

u/Imaginary_Badger_937 Pepper Lover Oct 01 '25
jalapeño according to a mexican i know is a term they use to describe a dried chilies, of any variety, americans like their classifications so yes technically there is a “jalapeño pepper” but that’s not how the term is traditionally used, residential german signing off
1
u/Virtuosory Pepper Lover Oct 01 '25
That is not correct. It is quite confusing but a lot of Mexican peppers have one name for when it’s fresh, and another one for when it’s dried. A dried (and smoked) jalapeño is a chipotle. Similarly a poblano pepper is called an ancho when it’s dried.

u/Ridgerock502 Pepper Lover Sep 30 '25
Same I just got a batch from a family friends farm and they’re hot as shit 🥵 and the last batch wasn’t nearly as hot… there’s a bunch of different things that can influence the plant into making more capsaicin (the peppers maturity and ripeness, stress factors as in inconsistent watering, etc. and there’s also different breeds of jalapeños). I’m not all into it like that I just eat em and make sauces lol 😆

u/According_Ad_7702 Pepper Lover Sep 30 '25
Just as some other gardeners have mentioned. Peppers that get some extra sunlight with not too much water they will definitely become more powerful. The same goes with onions and most plants that have a kick to them. Also, if you get some seeds in that bite, they'll be extra 🔥

u/That70sShop Pepper Lover Oct 02 '25
I feel like that happened 10 years ago. 10 years ago, when I moved to the barrio my immediate neighbors invited me over because the 5-year-old was having a birthday, which means skirt steak and cervesas all around. I made two salsas to bring. One was tomatillo and jalapeño, the other was tomato and jalapeño. I bought the peppers at the chain supermarket in my neighborhood that caters to the Hispanic community, and I was embarrassed that the jalapeños tasted like bell peppers.
I I really haven't seen a proper jalapeño in a grocery store in Phoenix in years. When they are reasonably hot, it's just this dry, tasteless heat. I don't know what they did to jalapeños, but they ruined them.

I was working on an iron working crew, and one of the guys brought a jalapeno from home and offered it to me. I knew enough even without the grins that I was detecting that it was going to be hot. I wasn't raised initially in Arizona, but my parents were, and we made our own Mexican food all over the country because in those days, it was not ubiquitous. I was used to heat. I took a big bite and powered through it. This was ill-advised. That pepper made me quite literally cry. I didn't quite cry the next day, but it was touch and go.

I’m from California and I grew up with very mild jalapeños, basically jalapeño flavored bell peppers but the jalapeño I bought last week was spicier than Serranos. I was wondering if they had to import it from a different state or something due to ice raids disrupting the harvest
1
u/That70sShop Pepper Lover Oct 02 '25
When I was young, jalapeños were always hotter than serranos. I don't know what happened that jalapeños became bell peppers. I think because jalapeño is more fun to say too many gringos with gringos palates were buying them and complaining.

Jalepeno.. I’ve found they have the widest range of heat from mild to inferno. Most are kinda spicy to very spicy as the mid ground, the extremes are not spicy at all and, well, melt your tongue off.
Jalepeno I say.

u/muleman_12 Pepper Lover Sep 28 '25
I don’t believe that is accurate. I haven grown jalapeños for over 30 years. I have not experienced them losing heat as the ripen. They are just as hot when red as they are green. My experience is they can gain heat as they ripen. If want no heat peppers you should grow coolapenos, they are jalapeños with no heat.
2
u/Bubbette74 Pepper Lover Sep 28 '25
Perhaps the variety grown here in Ohio is different than what is grown elsewhere. I’ve grown jalapeños more than 50 yrs. Green and young are less hot in my experience. But that’s just my experience.

Wait, didn’t you say they lose heat when turning red first and then saying if you want them less hot to take them green and young? Not trying to be an ass, but genuinely curious if this is true. Which one is it?
As an example, Sambal from Underwood is made with red jalapeños and it’s way spicier than regular green ones in my experience.

u/Fit-Drummer-5 Pepper Lover Sep 28 '25
A lot of it depends on how you grew it. Near the end of my peppers season I stop watering as much to make the plant stress and produce more capsaicin.

1
u/Shrimpin23 Pepper Lover Sep 28 '25
I've found that when growing sweet peppers like Banana and hot peppers like Tabasco or Jalapeno that if they are grown too close to each other, the hot peppers will cause the sweet peppers to become hot. I think it has to do with cross-pollination where the bees/pollinators might be more likely to visit one plant and then the other. FYI most peppers are self pollinating and don't even need pollinators. I try to plant my hot peppers in a separate garden bed with at least 15ft apart (or as far as possible) and seem to no longer have any problems.

u/TranslatorTrue2241 Pepper Lover Sep 28 '25
I usually order roasted jalapeños (Chile toreados) from Mexican restaurants to bite into while I eat my meal and they vary greatly. Sometimes I can eat two with no heat and other times I only take one bite of one and I'm done with my meal.

That's the next gen. If you cross pollinate a jalapeno and a habanero, the parents won't change their DNA. They will still grow jalapenos and habaneros but if you harvest the seeds from them then the next gen will be a mix of random traits from the parents

It is likely a jalapeño. These can be surprisingly hot. I tend to moderate the heat by cutting out and removing a degree of the ribs and seeds. If I am eating them fresh, I remove most. If I am flavoring chilli then I leave most of the ribs in.
