Why are grocery stores allowed to throw completely different jalapeno cultivars, with heat and general flavor potency ranging from "might as well be bell pepper" to "oh god it hurts", into the same bin without any clarification or warning? It's annoying as all fuck not knowing what you're getting into half the time, especially when they separate cultivars for most everything else.
It annoys me there are people who will eat jalapenos who expect not to get burned. People like you are the reason every time a company comes out with a genuinely spicy product it gets toned down a few weeks later due to all the whining its too spicy.

it's the same cultivar, the difference in heat comes mostly from fungal/bacterial colonies on the roots.
most farmers have little control over this so heat varies wildly.
They are only just discovering this stuff

It annoys me that people still eat jalapenos. Eat fucking serranos or habaneros.

I never said I didn't want them to be spicy, you daft cunt.
the ones with the tan lines on them will be hotter

OP, thats a good question. Sometimes I can just chow down on a jalapeno raw seeds and all, while other times it burns me something awful
Anybody else feel that japalepeno's are best tasting pepper? Perfect raw when green, cooked when red and chipotle is amazing.

Habaneros taste like candy so it's not surprising most people don't like them.

Jalapenos taste like someone's asshole after they've had too much Taco Bell.

I have tasted both things separately so I have an educated guess at what the combination tastes like.

I grow jalapenos and the heat varies from pepper to pepper, even ones picked from the same plant. I don't think they are doing it to upset you.

I'll bet he thinks sriracha is a real hot sauce.

used to grow jalapenos and other peppers. i can take heat up to habaneros, but i found that unripe jalapenos can be extremely spicy, for reasons i don't really understand
just a guess, but maybe farms ship out unripe jalapenos, like they do with tomatoes when they're out of season, and they ripen during processing and shipping. maybe some of these common grocery store jalapenos just never got the chance to mature properly

It's more a paste than a sauce.
